More condom use at a 30% failure rate = more STD's / more abortions for birth control / more babies being born with an STD / more babies being born and raised because 'Dad' just wanted to be a sperm donor / and greater financial stress on a given Nation for healthcare .
Get it out of your mind that hookup sex is safe. Its not. Its proven to be dangerous. Ask the people who have a lifelong STD or loved ones of the HIV/AIDS deceased.
I lost 4 friends to complication from AIDS, a woman who was infected by her husband who was busy pretending not to be gay. A child who was born to an HIV+ mother who opted not to have the HIV test while pregnant and proceeded to breast feed her child, a woman who contract HIV via infected needles due to her drug addiction and a man who caught it from his long term partner. Although the man had also developed a form of cancer that wasn't related to HIV but treatment was impossible due to his compromised immune system on all fronts
In addition to those people who I knew well I know 7 people who are living with HIV and during my years as a caseworker I met dozens of people who were HIV+
Condoms, testing, education about living with HIV and protecting others, and distributing clean needles to those addicts who are not ready to get clean. I support ALL of that. I also support making HIV testing part of a standard physical to contribute to removing the stigma of being tested.
