“More than 10 percent of teens who said they were abstinent also tested positive for a sexually transmitted disease, says a study in Pediatrics released Monday — a figure public health advocates say justifies screening all teens for such diseases.”

Which means about 90% - the vast majority - did not, a figure that shows there is little justification for a broad policy initiative to help ameliorate self-inflicted conditions of small minority.
