- Just a thought.
-
- If condoms fail approx. 25% of the time when used in the prevention of
- pregnancy, and
- due to the biological functions of a woman's body she can only get pregnant for
- a short period of time during any particular month. What is the TRUE failure
- rate for condoms.
-
- If this failure rate is so great how come AIDS advocacy groups seem to be
- saying that if condoms are used it will prevent the SPREAD(notice not
- transmission) of HIV.
-
- If the TRUE failure rate of condoms could be proven to be in the approx. 50%
- range wouldn't the SAFETY be taken out of "safeR sex". And if this is so
- aren't AIDS advocacy groups possibly increasing the likelyhood of transmission
- by giving people a false sense of security.

-
- Remember there are two concrete ways to avoid HIV+AIDS(although these are not
- fool proof due to the slim chance of getting HIV from a medical related
- activity.)
-
- 1. ABSTAIN from sex until marriage. Your life is worth it. Plus it
- may even be more enjoyable.
-
- 2. Don't take illeagal drugs, at all especially those which require
- you to use a hypodermic needle.
