The paper first looks at the statistics for the state of South Carolina, which show an increase in both these diseases over the years. It then looks the consequences for the community as a whole before discussing what the nursing community can do, as a matter of course during their daily routines, to help prevent the spread of these diseases.

From the Paper:

"Any school district would be a place for nurses to begin pushing for a similar program. The reasoning is that if a safer choice attitude was developed just when individuals begin to be sexually active, that would continue in later years and help protect older age groups as well. Included in the lessons was information on the use of condoms. A number of studies have shown that using condoms can prevent other forms of community health risk that result from unprotected sex, including, possibly, genital warts, cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer."
