ATLANTA, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Eight in 10 U.S. male teens used a condom the first time they had sex from 2006 to 2010 -- an increase of 9 percentage points from 2002, health officials say.
A report, "Teenagers in the United States: Sexual Activity, Contraceptive Use, and Childbearing, 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth," by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics found about 43 percent of never-married female teens -- 4.4 million -- and about 42 percent of never-married male teens -- 4.5 million -- reported sexual intercourse at least once.
