I ment Hepatitis.


So we need better education on how to use birth control?

What is this "Hepitas" you speak of... I looked on an online medical journal and found no such disease...

But you know what, there is no such thing as 100% birth control, all you can do is minimize your chances... also people are stupid and put oil or something like that on latex condoms which causes them to break... so you can subtract that 78% right off the bat.

guys, FYI, you don't need to have sex, or engage in sexual activites, in order to get AIDS.
HIV/AIDS is an epidemic and it's back on the rise, right here in the United States. People don't get HIV/AIDS because they're stupid, but because they don't know; hardly anyone in this country-this "first world country"- has a comprehensive sex education. I bet the majority of you don't know everything to know about sex, STIs, HIV/AIDS and sexuality in general. It's my job to go out and educate people our age on these topics, and believe me, HIV/AIDS can and will target anyone-oh, btw there is no such thing as "safe sex", only "safER sex"-HIV/AIDS is a big problem guys and if we dont do something about this, i wouldn't be surprised if this virus turned out to be the downfall of the human world. I bet you that everyone of you know someone who has HIV/AIDS, you're just not aware of it; each and every one of you will be touched some way or another by HIV/AIDS, so don't be ignorant.
YOU CAN GET HIV/AIDS WITHOUT HAVING SEX

THAT IS A LIE, you should be ashamed of yourself for posting such trash.

You should read up on your facts before calling someone a lier you friggin little wench.

Condoms have a sucess rate of only 78% ask anybody at a family planning clinic. Also if she forgot to take a pill anytime in the week before she had sex it's going to leav her firtle as a turtle for about a week and a half.

The pill doesn't always work wither, the only fool proof birth control is abstinance.

---

That basically means shes f'd up, it cant be blamed on birthcontrol. Birth control pill is 99.9% safe... condom is 78% safe you say? so add those two up. she has a 177.9% chance of not getting knocked up.

That's if not used properly. Foolish teenagers put oils and crap on condoms, making them tear. Also, you MUST be loyal with the pill, or else.

but that is very rare.

Fine. I'll present to you the case of the mother of my ex. She was happily married, but, her husband cheated on her and got genital herpes. The wife got it too. It could happen with AIDS.

(No, I don't have it, I never slept with that BF).

Hmmm. Just because that happened to one person, does not mean it'll happen to everyone else and that contraception methods are ineffective. And how do you know so much about that girl's sex life? That's just weird.

With out slamming gays (because I believe myself to be bisexual) but I honestly think that a dick was not intended to be put in an *******... so like if i were to be with a guy I think I would be the F***er not the F***ee know what I'm saying...

But anyway, yes it is easier for gay males to contract aids because when you cornhole someone, they have a nasty tendency to bleed on occasion, and there is more HIV virus in blood then vaginal secretions or semen also any HIV in semen has a faster route to the blood stream through a cut...


Was that graphic enough?

If you wait until you are married, you are more likely to make a bad match, and a hasty marraige.

It doesn't work 100% of the time. There is still a chance that it won't. Perscription medicine screws up birth control.

I think if they would make condoms more comfy then guys wouldn't have a problem. Kids out there are having sex woth out thinking to put one on ecause they are unconfortable. Like in my sckoool they have sex give head and everything else. Me personally don't like condoms but i use them because i'd rather have a long life than for 20 minutes have the pleasure.

Please, let's not add morals to this. Morals depend on the person, what may seem wrong to someone else may be OK or right to you.

Ignorence of morality has never save someone from the consequences of thier immoral actions. For example, if someone thinks that living a sexually promiscuous lifestlye isn't immoral, that's not going to save them from getting STDs is it? So it doesn't matter what people think different things are morally right. What matters is the consequence that comes from each moral or immoral action.

just to verify, your not safe with oral sex, you CAN contract AIDS that way to

Jamaica, I don't give a damn. Much less about something you said. In fact, I didn't read that. I already know everything, know what I risk when I have sex, know how to protect myself. I don't need a person who hasn't even been kissed to try and educate me on MY sex life.

Are you promoting oral sex as an alternative?

also, here is a story... hope this will serve as a reflection

An AIDS Mistake

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.

i will post this story i got from a newspaper...Hope this will give you awareness....

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.
