Jamaica, will you please STOP posting those two stories over and over again? If people aren't going to read them the first time, then they're NOT going to read them.
Created through a masterful combination of Power Rangers, Rescue Rangers, Peter Pan, and two cute boys from Barney fifteen years ago, Awkward Ikki is sure to please and aggravate anyone she comes into contact with! Be sure to find your own Awkward Ikki today! (Only Available in 3-D).
Hey Jamaica once again just stop replying nobody wants to listen to you preach and just because sex is sacred to you doesn't mean that it is to others so why don't you do us all a favor and stick to the spiritual boards.

Staying Alive: A CNN/MTV Special on the Impact of HIV/AIDS on Young People Airs in the Run Up to the World AIDS Day
Every six seconds someone is infected by HIV nearly 15,000 people each day. More than 50% of the people infected with HIV in 2003 were under the age of 25. As the threat of HIV/AIDS continues to spread, CNN International and MTV International have united to reveal how epidemic is affecting young people around the world.
Staying Alive: A CNN & MTV News Special, cohosted by CNN anchor Monita Rajpal, and MTV presenter, Tim Kash, brings together the biggest names in global news and music. The show features Bollywood movie stars, African street performers and Russian drug users, among others in a series of personal stories, which bring the issue of HIV sharply into focus. This unique partnership between CNN International and MTV International will be broadcasted to a potential viewing audience of 1 billion people around the world in the days leading up to and including World AIDS Day and features news segments from Thailand, Tanzania, the US, Russia, China, India and Brazil. In northern Thailan, the classroom is the new battleground against AIDS. Children as young as 9 are being given sex education lessons by teenagers with HIV. There are currently 700,000 known cases of HIV in Thailand, where an increase in casual sex among young people has become a worrying trend. CNN’s Aneesh Raman reports from Chiang Mai, which has one of the highest prevalence rates of HIV in Asia, on the efforts to protect a new generation in a country where sex tourism continues to thrive. Abstinence-only groups in the United States preach “no sex” as the only form of safe sex. Organizations like the Silver Ring Thing, travel from city to city with a show featuring bands and comic sketches, encouraging teenagers to pledge abstinence until marriage. While abstinence groups have won the support of President Bus, critics say pledges do not last and condemn a lack of discussion of safe sex alternatives. Monita Rajpal reports from a Silver Ring Thing event in Charleston, West Virginia, speaking to supporters and critics of its program, which aims to reach 20% of young people in the US within 7 years. Needle sharing is the main way in which the HIV virus is spread in central and Eastern Europe but sex with prostitutes is taking the epidemic beyond the drug community into the general population. Outside Moscow HIV, patients face a shortage of the drugs, which can delay HIV becoming AIDS. CNN’s Ryan Chilcote talks with doctors in St. Petersburg who have the power to decide who gets them and who does not, meets members of an HIV/AIDS support group and reports on demonstrations at the lack of treatment drugs available. A young Indian businesswoman is fired when she becomes infected with HIV and faces a gruelling struggle against prejudice and stigma. That’s the plot of the groundbreaking movie “Phir Milenge” which addresses the issue within the Bollywood film for the first time. With Bollywood’s huge influence on popular culture, MTV’s Cyrus Broacha reports on how “Phir Milenge” could prove catalyst for the fight against AIDS in India. The Chinese government has previously faced criticism for playing down the risk of HIV even though the country has one of the fastest growing rates of HIV infections in the world. There has been a 30% annual rate increase of reported HIV infections over the last 5 years. With the government’s increased involvement in the AIDS awareness, and the appointment of its own ‘AIDS Ambassador’, it is creating something of a government-sponsored sexual revolution in China. CNN’s Kristie Lu Stout reports from Beijing - where hundreds of condom machines are being installed across the campus of Quinhua University. The people of Africa continue to suffer by far the worst effects of HIV and AIDS. More than 12 million children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. In Tanzania, community theatre is fighting the epidemic by performing in village and market places, where people even stop their trading to watch. The report speaks to actors on their goal to cause public debate and teach young people how to avoid the risks of infection in the place that saw some Africa’s first cases of AIDS 20 years ago. In Brazil, MTV’s Sarah Oliviera gets the word on the street by talking to young Brazilians about their attitude to AIDS and condom use in a series of vox pops.

At 18, Kaye Brown was ready for the world! The bubbly honor student was looking forward to life in the army. Last March, she signed up at a recruiting office in Houston and took a mandatory AIDS test. One week later, she learned she was HIV-positive and the world was no longer a sure thing! “I was really, really angry,” she says. “My career had been snateched away from me.” Though doctors estimated that she had contracted the virus recently, they recommended that she tell anyone she had had sex with in the previous year. The list was long. “It was easy for me to list the guys I had slept with,” she says, “but when I counted 24, I was like, gosh!” One former partner said, “But you don't look like you’re that way.” Brown shot back, “What is that way? HIV doesn't mean that I’m dirty or low. It just means I made a mistake. Brown blames only herself. “It makes me angry that I allowed this to happen,” she says. “Choices I made have stolen away the choices that I might have had in the future.” Not only will her choices be gone but her life will be taken… if AIDS takes its normal course of development. She has about two to four years to live, if she is fortunate and has some excellent health care. The virus that causes AIDS is known as the Human Immnuodeficiency Virus or HIV. We do know that virus is less infectious than others such as the virus for hepatitis B. However, once contracted, there is no known cure and the result is death. From June through September, last year, there were 912 new cases among 13 to 19 year olds. There is a caution… these numbers were just the visible tip of the iceberg. They only include those who are in the final stages of infection with HIV. It is estimated that between one and two million Americans are now infected with the virus. It is also estimated that as many as 30% of all-AIDS-related deaths are never reported! Scary! Deadly! We have a choice! Certain behaviors are the major cause of spreading AIDS, among them is sexual promiscuity. Let’s make a choice not to indulge but to abstain… and the old message from God himself is to wait until marriage. Make virginity your choice! Take the moral high ground! You’ll be glad you did.

quote: oh btw Jamaica if you dont wanna hurt on your hunnymoon marry a needle **** and you might wanna start practicing with some of them veggies.
Sure.. its better to hurt on my honeymoon for i know that its only temporary... Hurting yourself with infections, lesions and HIV/AIDS is NOT temporary and it is also self-abuse to just have sex with more than 1 person. SEX is SACRED. SEX is COMMITMENT.
quote:Originally posted by RightIsRightLeftIsWrong: The spread of AIDS is due to promiscuity and misuse of the gift of human sexuality. If we all save sex for marriage then the spread of AIDS would be drastically reduced and it could be eliminated as a problem in the United States in a matter of generations. The problem with the "Safe Sex" Movement is that there is no such thing as "safe sex." All forms of birth control, except for abstinance, have a failure rate and most don't even claim to prevent the spread of AIDS or other disease. If sex was saved for marriage and children were taught that abstinance is an acceptable approach toward sex than there wouldn't be the problem that there is now. Children have very few positive role models when it comes to sexual conduct. With shows like Friends and pop icons like Britney Speares to emulate there appears to be something abnormal about having only one sexual partner for your entire life. The solution isn't more condoms, it's less sex!!!
ya absitinence is the only thing that will work 100%, but come on, how many people are actually going to wait till marriage!? Believe it or not, absitenence does have a failure rate...the failure of the person to keep the promise to not have sex. of course abstience is acceptable, but its just not the reality that everyone is going to start waiting. u might as well educate them abt absitence AND CONDOMS. less condoms is exactly where NOT to go. it's ridonkulous. of kids dont know abt condoms, theyre going to go have sex and not use them, therefore putting them at MORE risk of getting aids. so ya, tell kids that the best way to prevent getting aids is by not having sex, but the stats are out there....many more kids are going to have pre-marital sex than those who save themselves
to me, the only way to fight AIDS is abstinence: read this:The Battle Over Abstinence
Karie Hughes tosses a pair of black fuzzy dice across the classroom floor. “Sex before marriage is like gambling,” Hughs tells students in her federally funded abstinence workshop, “Passion and Principles.” Each number the dice represents a risk, Hughes explains, a sexually transmitted diesease, a broken heart. Hughes, 42, is hip enough for her audience to relate to—she reveals a sliver of belly above her slim black pants—but authoritative enough to have an impact. By the time she darkens the room for the slide show at Highland High School outside Phoenix, Arizona, the kids are captivated. The screen fills with grotesque images—a uterus swollen by pelvic inflammatory disease, a penis oozing pus from gonnorhea. “Eeeeeew,” the students groan. Afterward, many seem persuaded. “That totally changed my view on pretty much everything,”says freshman Laura Hurst, 14. “Ohmigod” Phoenix isn't the only place the abstinence message is taking hold. In classrooms around the country, programs that urge teens to postpone sex are on the rise. More than one third of US high schools teach abstinence until marriage and 700 abstinence programs spread the sex-can-wait gospel in all 50 states. Though no parents really want their teenager to have sex, there’s plenty of disagreement over how to persuade kids to wait. Major medical groups and supporters of “comprehensive sex education” like the Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS) agree abstinence should be promoted as a first choice. But they also want to teach kids how to reduce their risks if they do have sex. The abstinence drive comes at a time when teen chastity is on the rise—the percentage of high schoolers who said they’d ever had sexual intercourse dropped dropped from 54 in 1991 to 46 in 2001, according to the Center for Disease Control. Teen pregnancies are down too. But that doesn't mean teens aren’t having sex at all: more than half of seniors lose their virginity before high school graduation. Teen condom use is up and so are levels of many STDs.That leaves abstinence and their opponents battling over the best approach. For teachers like Karie Hughs, building the case for abstinence goes beyond “just say no”. Even if you manage to avoid pregnancy, Hughs tells students, it’s harder to protect yourself against stealthy, often symptomless STDs that can crop up years later. Sexual intercourse isn't the only danger. There’s now growing evidence that teens are engaging in other risky behaviors, including oral and anal sex. Abstinence classes play up the hazards of deep kissing and mutual masturbation. “This teaches you ways to prevent yourself from doing stuff,” says Lindsey Raver, 17, sitting in the back row of Hugh’s class in hip-huggers and a pink V-neck. “It gets you thinking.” This is the kind of response George W. Bush was hoping for. To the White House, abstinence seems like an easy win: it resonates with conservative voters, but doesn't upset pro-choice moderates. Bush’s commitment was topush the policy agenda on abstinence and come up with increase funding. At home, Bush has not only increased funding, he’s pored all the new federal dollars into the most restrictive type of abstinence program-Special Project of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS)-more than doubling the budget to $73 million. To get the cash, groups must follow eight strict criteria, including teaching that “sexual activity outside the context of marriage is likely to have harmful, psychological and physical effects” and “a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity.” It often falls to Claude Allen to explain Bush’s philosophy. As deputy secretary of Health and Human Services, Allen is the administration’s point man on abstinence. Allen sees sex as just one more risky teen beahvior to curb and argues that abstinence is the only way to reduce a teen’s risk to zero. “Condoms may be effective in preventing transimission of HIV/AIDS and in some cases, transmission of gonorrhea in men, but beyond that they do not protect adequately against other sexually transmitted diseases,” he says. In many communities, parents are still wrestling with which side to take. When the Wake County, N.C, school board decided to review the abstinence curriculum, both sides began lobbying. Bart Frost, 15 and his mother, Pamela, showed up at one October meeting to press conprehensive classes after Bart’s abstinence course left too many gaps. Last month, the school board decided to keep an abstinence focus but add information about contraceptives, STDs and tolerance for gays. One study that followed students who took virginity pledges found the vows did delay sexual activity-but students who lapsed were less likely to use contraceptives. Stan Weed, a researcher who evaluated abstinence programs for many states, studied four Virginia courses and found that two lowered the rate of students losing their virginity by at least 65 percent. At Flowing Wells High School in Tucson, Arizona, the sophomores clamor for the free “Sex Can Wait” pens in Pat Merrill’s abstinence class, but its still not clear whether the message will last any longer than the ballpoint ink. Merrill helps students identify “love languages” besides sex (like words of affirmation) and has them list “turn-ons” that focus on personality instead of proclivities. A poster on the wall depicts two teens in low-slung jeans with their zippers padlocked shut: PUT A LOCK ON IT, it advises. And that’s the big question: Will they? That used to be a matter for parents to worry about. But as abstinence moves to the center of the political battleground, even the White House wants to know the answer.

So lets say I have sex before I'm married and only stick to one or two people but I have sex with them a couple times a day will I still get aids? I'm wearing a condom right now, just to be safe, Is there a chance I can get aids from talking to you?
