An estimated four in sixteen sexually 'active adolescent females' between the ages of '14 and 19' have an STD.
<u>Explanation</u>:
According to the studies carried out by the 'American Academy of Pediatrics', it is clear that the most common sexually transmitted disease in adolescent females is that of 'human papillomavirus' and about four of every sixteen women, or one in every four women is infected by it.
The females between 14 and 19 years of age are vulnerable to this infection because their cervixes are not fully matured.
