Writing to help general readers become more aware of the risks associated with sexual activity, Grimes, a family physician and faculty member at the U. of Massachusetts Medical School, recounts the stories of young people from all walks of life infected with sexually transmitted diseases: herpes, human papilloma virus and resulting cervical cancer, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis. Each section includes facts on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and other information about the STD. She does not include information about pregnancy or stories about homosexual partners.
