The study shows that 9.3% of young people say they have had at least one partner of the same sex, this number has grown the double since the last study carried out in 2002, publishes the portal Aol Health.

"Clearly there is a high rate of sexual partners of same sex among adolescents, and we must begin to recognize the weaknesses that this type of behavior could have "indicates the doctor Susan Blanck , commissioner of the Department of Health of the City of New York for Reuters.

Among the results found, adolescents who have sex with partners of the same gender were more likely to have risky sexual behavior that could lead to sexually transmitted infections . Experts believe that these behaviors are due to the lack of sexual health programs aimed at this emerging group.
