DC to Offer STD Testing to All Public High School Students
Posted by Partnership for Prevention at 1:28 PMSchools in the District of Columbia will offer testing for sexually transmitted diseases to all high school students in the coming school year. The move amounts to an expansion of a pilot program conducted last year at eight high schools found that 13 percent of about 3,000 students tested positive for an STD. About 12,000 students attend public high schools in the District.
