MERGED: HIV in the Philippines

[edgeknife]

Use condoms if you cant avoid having good time in bed with somebody nga dili nimo kaila jud.

I just wanna ask, kung mag lips to lips mo sa imong partner, is there a possibility nga ma-infected mo sa hiv/aids?? i'm asking coz i don't have idea on this. .

Dili bai. Unless you are into oral. Lips to lips is very safe.

bai, thanks. . . at least i know already. .

so dapat lang stick to one partner jud. best way to avoid std. bitaw labi na anong mga manyakis, dili lang sa sakit ang makuha nimo but maka-gaba man gud ning sige lang og ***. To think, I have two friends, both were salesman, nga nanga-football sa trabaho because of ***, dayun na sobrahan man sa ***, ki-gabaan hinuon. Unsaun man to duha, dili man to i-remit ilang halin intawn. tan-awa ninyo, di ba basta manyak ka, dili lang sakit ang makuha, kung dili maka-gaba pa jud ni. tsk tsk tsk

wrong headline. condoms are not 'ineffective' against HIV/AIDS. the news features presents a solution that can prove to be better than condoms, but not its inefficiency.

You forgot to read the last paragraph. Condom campaigns have NEVER been proven to be effective.

The title is obviously misleading:

International Case Studies Showing Condom Ineffectiveness Against HIV/AIDS. It is not.

International Case Studies Showing Condom Ineffectiveness Against HIV/AIDS. It is not.

The overall result is that a condom campaign is inneffective. Condom usage is more than just laboratory testing. In the actual world, condom campaigns result in wrong attitudes and overconfidence in one method that is prone to error. The bottom line is that condom campaigns FAIL to be effective on a national scale.

what i said is that the title is misleading. the title doesn't say that condom campaign is ineffective. it should be "International Case Studies Showing Condom Campaign Ineffectiveness Against HIV/AIDS." Now do you agree that this is more correct?

I don't believe that any country or organization is pushing condom as the only solution for aids/hiv prevention. it just so happen that condom is in the gunsight of most religious organization and they keep hammering on it because it's against their belief. not the condom per se but the condom connection: condom - premarital ***, condom - homosexuality, condom - adultery. What countries and most organization is pusing is 'the ABC's of aids prevention.' Abstain. Be faithful. use Condom. in that order.

and i more thing. i disagree that condom usage is more that just laboratory testing. you just choose to believe that it is.
