People get so worked up over the sex part of the equation so it's clouding their judgement.
There's no guarantee I would be exposed to chickenpox but I still got the vaccine. If there was an AIDS vaccine, that should be given too. Who cares whether it's given to a child? If it prevents a person from contracting a deadly disease then I'm all for it.
Oh I'm all for it too, but Chicken Pox, which most of the time is a mild and less than dangerous disease is transmitted easily, and there are enough complications to merit it a place on the "required" vaccine list.
I'm in your camp on preventing disease.. plus the public health cost of sexually transmitted diseases is significant enough to me that getting behind any vaccine that would reduce the risk to me makes sense. Some people figure they won't be touched by the costs if they stay "pure" I figure I love my kids enough not to want them to face illness or death over a momentary lapse in judgement, an assault by someone who is carrying disease or sex with a spouse who has failed to be tested and themselves hasn't been so "pure"
If there was an AIDS vaccine I wonder how many people would refuse to get it? Cause we'd be on line FAST.
