Liberals cite the equal prevalence of STDs among teens who have undertaken abstinence pledges as the reason for their opposition. A study presented to the 2004 National STD Prevention Conference showed that whilst teens who take abstinence pledges do, on average, have sex at an older age, they have a similar rate of STDs. The report indicated this could be due to teens engaging in other forms of sex, whilst being less likely to practise safe contraception. <ref>[http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/21606.php Many Teens Who Take 'Virginity Pledges' Substitute Other High-Risk Behavior for Intercourse, Study Says]</ref>
