Approximately 32% of the 19.2 million, or 1 in 3 youth have already engaged in premarital sex, compared to 23.2% in 2002 and 17.8% in 1994. Another disturbing finding was that 78% of the first instance of premarital sex was unprotected both against pregnancy and against sexually trans mitted infections. 143.
