sex education 4

This is from Utusan Konsumer July - August 2005 issue which reported that 'Recently WHo warned that Malaysia is on the verge of an HIV/AIDS epidemic. It came so swift and sudden and begs the question as t ohow did it happen and why was it allowed to happen....' It continues ' The ugly truth is that HIV/AIDS and its impact will continue to be felt for years to come and the situation will get worst before it gets better (it if does). Given this backdrop the challenges are indeed formidable and require a massive and comprehensive national response..' It further added 'Given the state of nation's public health care and delivery system, which is being progressively privatised and systematically dismantled, with little transparency and public debate, the question is whether our public health care system is equiped to meet the challenges that the HIV/AIDS crisis demands..'

The current young adults should take cognizance of the wild spread of the sexual diseases rampant in the society practising without safe sex. Don't always say it won't happen to you...it is for your own good to prepare and acknowledge the spread of the sexual diseases especially HIVs amongst the young people and sexually active adults who indulge in multiple partners. Here is the statistics of the current HIV/AIDS in 2004 in consumer association's publication.

Total HIV Infections 64,439
Total AIDs cases 9,442
AIDS Deaths 7,195

Sex education will play a vital role to educate the present generation and multiple sex partners
on the danger prevalent on these active group of people to practise safe sex at all times. Be it with a singular partner or many, sex is not a play thing or a commodity. It is something personal for a person yet in the years long past it has become a marketing commodity.

Practise safe sex to sleep easy in the night.
