Scary STD stats prompt extreme moves
D.C. is the latest district planning to offer tests for STDs to all high school students in the coming school year.
The move was prompted by a pilot program conducted at eight high schools that found that 13% of 3,000 students (that’s 390 kids) tested positive for an STD, mostly gonorrhea or chlamydia.

Chimps getting AIDS
SIV, simian immunodeficiency virus, the monkey version of the virus that causes AIDS, is killing chimpanzees in the wild at a disturbingly high rate. Conservationists are concerned because chimps are already endangered.
Chimpanzees are the first primate besides man shown to get sick in significant numbers from a virus related to HIV. Chimps are also man's closest relative among primates.
Monkeys and apes -- except chimps -- seems to survive the virus because of some kind of evolutionary adaptation.
