Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!

And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)

Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS

My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

Good Lord people... Quit bickering and read.

Abstinence or lifelong monogamy are the most effective ways to avoid HPV infection. However, for most sexually active women, the most important preventive measure women can take to protect themselves from developing cervical cancer is having regular Pap tests (Janicek & Averette, 2001). Avoiding skin-to-skin contact with someone with HPV is the most effective strategy to prevent HPV infection. And although condoms may not eliminate the risk of transmitting HPV, the CDC recommends them for risk reduction (CDC, 2001). Since HPV sheds beyond the covered area, however, condoms do not provide as complete protection as they do for some other pathogens, such as HIV and gonorrhea (Stone, et al., 1999). The claims of condom-use opponents who suggest that condom use leads to increased numbers of HPV infections are false and alarmist. Condom use cannot be blamed for the high prevalence of HPV infection or the incidence of cervical cancer among women in the U.S.



Thank you, it is still telling you TO USE A DAM CONDOM, which is the whole point here.


not one person suggested that one shouldn't use a condom. That was NEVER in dispute

if you use protection you dont need to worry about your health. its your body, your health, so the decison is down to you.


That's a foolish statement... condoms don't protect you from HPV, and anyone who receives/gives oral is at risk for catching anything and everything.


we can only tell people to be safe by using a condom. yes your at risk of getting worts, herpes etc, but what more can anyone do!!!!!!!!!!!!! so its not a foolish statement, its the only way we can protect ourself as much as we can.


I was simply stating it's foolish to say you don't have to worry about your health if you use protection. You should always be concerned with your health.


but im saying, we can only protect ourself as much as we possibly can. but i would be more concerned for my health if i didnt use protection. basically there is no more we can do than using condoms, unless a miracle occurs and we cant catch ANYTHING.


By all means, do whatever you want with your own life, but don't cause others to go happily screwing everything just because they have a condom. There are always risks, if there weren't, there wouldn't be diseases!

DISEASES CAN BE CAUGHT WITH OR WITHOUT A CONDOM, condoms just REDUCE the risk.
[/quote

i would use a condom, it will reduce the risk, even though its not 100 percent i would still use one.


Are you deliberately not understand anything anyone says? No one is suggesting that we should not use condoms. They are saying that you gave bad advice when you said if you use a condom you never have to worry about your health. That is terrible advice, and you know it, and please admit it.


GEEEEZ

WHAT IM SAYING IS, WE CAN ONLY PROTECT OURSELF AS MUCH AS WE CAN. SO BASICALLY A CONDOM WILL PROTECT YOU FROM SOME THINGS BUT NOT EVERYTHING. HOWEVER UNTIL A MAGICAL CONDOM ENTERS THIS WORLD WHERE YOU CANT CATCH ANYTHING, THEN CONDOMS ARE THE BEST WAYS TO KEEP US SAFE. HERPES, WARTS ARE PASSED ON BY SKIN TO SKIN, BUT MY POINT IS NO ONES GOING TO STOP HAVING SEX, SO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE CONDOMS,EVEN THOUGH THERE NOT 100 PERCENT. BECAUSE THERES **** ALL ANYONE CAN DO

Condoms are IMMENSLY BETTER THAN NOTHING, as with all sex the risks are there but not to preach condom usage is just plain foolish and irresponsible of anyone.

that is true. But I hope you don't tell the girls in your clinic they needn't worry about their health if they use condoms. They need to understand that there are still risks and they need to know what to look for. That is what we have all been trying to say. Condoms are the best we have, but they are not perfect. YOu still need to exercise caution.

And as an after thought to this whole argument on infected teens and condom usage as the best protection. I remember the docs saying that they are not 100% sure that HPV is completely sexually transmitted. So if HPV may not even be sexually transmitted then condom usage may not be effective because of this fact anywayhuh .noway

well why did you get so pissy when someone pointed out that they don't protect 100%? You did say if you use them, you won't have to worry about your health. Do you understand why people would react rather strongly to a statement like that?
