It is impossible to know how many people are truly infected with any given disease.
Pubic Lice (Crabs) are parasites that are transmitted by close contact with a person who is infected. They are very common and are often found among younger people who are sexually active.
Statistics show that 50% of sexually active high school students will be infected with an STD. The spread of pubic lice is not inhibited by condom use, so prevention strategies are limited to abstinence.
