Study Examines Appeal of Candy-Flavored E-Cigarette Ads to Youths
Ads featuring e-cigarettes with flavors like chocolate or bubble gum appear to increase kids' interest in buying and trying an e-cigarette, a new British study has found.

HIV Testing Rates Still Low among Teens, Young Adults: CDC
Only one in five sexually active high school students has been tested for HIV, and young adults aren't doing much better at finding out their status, U.S. health officials report. Still, 44 percent of young Americans infected with the virus that causes AIDS don't know they have it, the researchers found. "We haven't made the dent that we would like to have made," said study author Michelle Van Handel, a health scientist with the division of HIV/AIDS prevention at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, she said, the HIV testing rate is actually lower among those aged 18 to 24 than for older people in the United States.
