Anyone can catch a sexually transmitted disease. STDs are widespread in
all walks of life, regardless of gender, race, social status, or education.
Seduced into complacency by the notion that "it can't happen to me," many
sexually active teens and young adults are stunned when they are diagnosed
with an STD.

To drive home the risks and realities of unprotected sex, Dr. Jill Grimes
narrates real-life stories of young people infected with STDs. The accounts
of these young men and women, and their exam-room conversations with their
doctors, evoke both the physical symptoms and the emotional reactions that
can accompany infection.

Dr. Grimes introduces each disease with a pair of stories that capture the
distinct experiences of a man and a woman, in the process allowing readers
to identify and empathize with such patients. The stories are followed by
an information section that provides medical facts and answers to
frequently asked questions about symptoms, treatment, and prevention.

Whether reading the book from cover to cover or jumping directly to
a specific disease, readers will relate to the dramatic stories while
learning medically reliable information to help them make decisions about
life and love.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that
one in four teenage girls in the United States has a sexually transmitted
disease. Seductive Delusions reveals what physicians across America see
every day. Anyone who is sexually active is at risk and needs to read
this book.
