Mystery – Why Condoms?

Every ten seconds, a man, woman, or child in Africa dies from an AIDS-related disease. According to the USAIDS/World Health Organization (WHO), 40.3 million people now live with HIV infections, two-thirds of them in sub-Saharan Africa. In Swaziland, 42.6 percent of pregnant women test positive for HIV.

There's no cure for this killer, and no end in sight. The United Nations predicts that if present trends continue, AIDS will claim an additional 65 million lives by 2020-more than triple the number of those who died in the first 20 years of the pandemic. (Sue Ellin Browder)

There is no excuse not to talk about condoms. First, get to know what it is.

A condom is a fine rubber sheath that is rolled on to a man’s penis before sex. A condom acts as a barrier, preventing sperm and infections passing between sexual partners.

If you are getting very close with someone, communication is very important. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to insist that you or your partner wears a condom. The best time to talk about it is before you have sex but not in the heat of the moment!

Is it embarrassing to buy and carry condoms?

It is a lot more embarrassing to get or pass on an STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) and AIDS. If anyone is too embarrassed to deal with condoms, they are probably not ready to deal with sex.

The Vatican encourages sexual abstinence to fight the spread of the disease. It believes marital fidelity and sexual abstinence are the best way to prevent the spread of HIV.

Condoms help to prevent unwanted pregnancies and population control. Sexual abstinence to fight AIDS will be a fallacious notion because humans cannot live forever without sex.

The contention to use condom or not, should lie in the participants by first creating awareness of the risks they are going to take with their promiscuous partners. However, by sticking to your own spouse is the safest bet.
