All Americans will be able to follow the tour's progress, and become a part of the movement by taking the personal pledge and signing the Trojan Evolve Petition virtually at the Trojan Web site, which also includes important links to third-party sexual health resources.

America Is Not a Sexually Healthy Nation

The Trojan Evolve Tour launches in the wake of newly released CDC statistics indicating that one in four teen girls has a sexually transmitted infection (STI)(I), and syphilis, gonorrhea and Chlamydia, continue to rise in the general public.(II) This is in addition to the 65 million Americans already living with an incurable STI.(III)

And for the first time in fourteen years, rates of unintended teenage pregnancy are growing, contributing to the over three million unplanned pregnancies occurring each year.(IV) Yet, only about one in four sex acts among singles involves a condom, resulting in over a billion acts of unprotected sex each year.(V)

"The Trojan Evolve tour is critical and timely," said Dr. M. Joycelyn Elders, former U.S. surgeon general and current advisor to the maker of Trojan brand condoms. "The problem is clearly not due to a lack of resources. Ninety percent of American households want comprehensive sex education, yet the government has spent over a billion dollars on only abstinence education, which according to its own studies is ineffective."
