POPSGuide to the Girls of Summer
Her shoes are hot in Serbia, her dress is hot in France, and she’s hot in your brain. She knows she’s a knockout as she struts her stuff into Starbucks and then off to learn Kabbalah while sporting sun glasses that double as a motorcycle helmet. Woo her with celebrity gossip and a borderline gay knowledge of fashion designer’s names. The Illusionist She’s got you ball-parking her age at anywhere between 14 and 32. She’s got you telling your friend’s she’s the hottest girl you’ve ever seen as long as she isn’t capable of sending you to jail on dates.

POPSDecember 1st: World AIDS Day Each year in the United States, about 20,000 young people are newly infected with HIV. Teens are at high risk for infection with HIV, even though they account for only a small percentage of reported AIDS cases. Over the last few years the annual number of new HIV infections has risen among youth. Furthermore, because of HIV's long incubation period, most people who have been diagnosed with AIDS while in their twenties may have been infected with HIV when they were teenagers. Adolescents experience nearly four million of the 15 million cases of sexually transmitted infection (STI) estimated to occur annually in the United States. The stigma associated with STI often prevents people from discussing STI and from getting treatment when they are infected. Teens have high rates of STI. In fact among American females, teens normally have the highest incidence of reported STI. Among males, teens have STI rates second only to males ages 20 to 24.
