Why Do Asian American Women Have One of the Highest Rates of Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

Why Do Asian American Women Have One of the Highest Rates of Sexually Transmitted Diseases?Found a study done by an Asian-American female professor. It says Asian-American women have a higher rate of STD's than Caucasian women. And Asian-American women are 4 times more likely to have STD's than Asian-American men.

Over the course the study, Hahm unmasked some myths common about Asian Americans. She said, "There's a perception that Asian Americans in particular aren't practicing sexually risky behaviors. But we found that Asian American young women are at risk of high STDs. For instance, Asian American women had a higher prevalence of STDs than White women in both 1995 (10.4% vs. 7.7) and 2001 (13.5% vs. 8.3%). The incidence of STDs (not diagnosed with STDs in 1995, but developed STIs in 2001) among Asian American women was also higher than that of White women."

Moreover, the power dynamic between genders became immediately clear. Asian American women were four times more likely to have a STD than their male counterparts. "This was shocking," said Hahm, "It was so much higher than the males."

Studies like these are stupid because it makes it seem as if your prone to get an STD because your Asian, but to get and STD you have to be very sexually active and not careful so what are they trying to say?

It's funny because I used to know an asian/white guy who is extremely promiscuous though I'm not sure by now if he has an STD or not.

I guess asians are much more sexually adventurous?
