Unprotected sex does not automatically mean you will get AIDS.  You can only catch AIDS if you have unprotected sex with someone who is already infected with AIDS.

STD's are not created out of thin air.  A healthy person has to get one from an infected person.  Two healthy people, gay or straight, cannot create an STD.

You can get aids from having multiple partners and unprotected sexual contact.

pro-life with exception for rape and incest which accounts for almost nil. By now after all these years of sex education, and condom handouts you would think they would know how to avoid pregnancy! Instead they use it as a form of birthcontrol.

Here's an answer from a 56 yo born and raised Catholic woman. \n\nFirst off, contraception and STDs are two entirely different issues. One is about population/procreation; the other is about prevention of disease. And yet they too often get linked together.\n\nIn order to prevent pregnancy, the best, safest way is to avoid having intercourse. Period. End of statement. Fooling around with something that is designed to produce offspring is playing with fire. No artificial barrier (condom) is gonna prevent that if it is meant to be. And human error certainly figures in on that!  Ask anyone who knows someone who "accidentally" got pregnant!  \n\nAs far as STD/HIV, the incidence of that grows with multiple partners. And the sad fact is that it may not show up for years. One indiscriminate encounter with an infected person will probably haunt you the rest of your life. Thus I believe in monogamy although I did have multiple partners before I married. But we won't go into that in this answer. \n\nPutting yourself at risk is foolish. Why not just stand before a firing squad? Or get run over by a car? Or expose yourself to some deadly virus that kills on contact?  Obviously we want self-preservation. So they came up with condoms, gels, etc. Because human nature is such that we take risks, and these risks can be deadly. \n\nAnd then there are the social issues of the disease or the pregnancy. People seem to think that playing with fire and creating life or contracting a deadly disease is all part of the human condition. Well, I guess my God has given me ways to avoid being in situations that may be harmful to me. So I don't take risks that could harm the life He gave me. \n\nHope this helps.

Well, that's a lot of questions rolled into one.  What, really, is your question?  I think the last one is the summary: do we [i.e., people generally] care?  Yes, generally.  Unless you have a friend who is infected, you probably tend to forget about the disease for long stretches of time.  But as to why people are still being infected, I think some of the question has to go to those who are infected: are you willing to risk having sex with someone who is not infected, and having the condom break?  Do you always, I mean ALWAYS warn a sex partner of the risk they are taking?  And are there still people out there using un-sterile needles to pop drugs?\n\nThe hype to be an AIDS activist was always political, and if it is indeed over, it's just as well.  The people who are infected really don't want everyone shying away from them, but they also don't want to be responsible for someone else being infected.  So a quiet monogamy with another infected mate or celibacy is most appropriate, and neither one is something to advertise, and therefore create a challenge situation.  In short, people are getting back into privacy on what is, after all, an intensely private matter.

I'm not real sure why. I am not religious, but I also would not have a child unless I was married. I think its a better upbringing for a child to have two wed parents. Just my opinion...

Virginity is still important for religious resons AND health reasons.  No form of birth control is safe, so you know you run the risk of having a baby.  Children generally turn out best when they are the product of a marriage and live with both parents (though this is debatable in some relationships).  Also, extramarital sex spreads disease.  If everyone saved themselves for their spouse and never had extramarital sex, STDs would virtually disappear.  \n\nMaintaining virginity until marriage is a religous idea, yes, but also a very good one for other reasons, too.

OMG No it's wonderful you are one of the very few that isn't at risk for getting pregent or getting an STD/STI! That's really awesome I hope the person you do give it to is your husband

No, they don't all have AIDS. But like anyone who is sexually active with multiple partners, homosexuals and heterosexuals can very easily contract and spread STDs. The only "safe sex" is between monogamous partners who have never been with anyone else, or who have only been with disease-free partners. I think committed marriage is one of the only safety-nets from STDs, unless of course one makes sure STD screens are done on every partner they sleep with before any action takes place. Yeah, right. Maybe that's why God ordained monogamy. It's just best.\n\nAnd to the person who said pedophiles and rapists are all heterosexual, that's quite untrue. There is a relatively large demographic of homosexual child molesters out there. We live in a pretty sick world, but the point is not whether one is heterosexual or homosexual- if one is sick and perverted and chooses to behave in an obscene sexual manner, that person is not any worse for his/her sexual orientation. Perversion is perversion.

Excuse me, have sex after hearing that? oh,never.\nfirst of all they lied to you about it from the begining, oh, please don't put yourself in this postion, if you get pregnanat the child would have HIV+, since you might be the carrier.

I hate to look at things this way, but I'm a factual person. The stats show that ppl who live together before getting married are more likely to get divorced. I waited until I was married to have sex. This brings a real sense of security to our relationship. I could go on about the other benefits, but I'm tired.

Uhh...I think it is not a matter of religion but of a moral standpoint.  I do not believe there is anything anywhere that says "You cannot have sex untill you are married."  Like I said...maybe it was a moral issue in the 1900's.  You know what....I think you are on to something.  If people would wait until they got married to have sex there would be less spread of disease, abortion and teen pregnancy.  Plus...if you get AIDS could you imagine yourself saying that "The sex was WAY worth it!"  lol  Is it really so bad?  Half the time I think it is more fun on my own anyway.  hahahaha

I think both are extremely wrong.\nPre-marital sex and Adultery is one of the reasons why we have AIDS and HIV rampant all over the world. \nOnce a person has premartial sex, he or she starts the ball rolling, and many move on to Adultery.\nWhy?\nAfter having sex with different people, some even with strangers, will he or she appreciate his or her loved one's body? Will the temptation of no strings sex lure them into having an affair?\nThere has to be something sacred in marriage and in a person's body and that's his and her virginity. This may sound antiquated but would you, want your boyfriend and girlfriend to have had sex with 10 people and marry them? \n\nWould you appreciate this person more if you knew he or she fought of temptation EVEN BEFORE they met you because they are governed with such strong belief and respect for their future spouse, in all seriousness, they knew the marriage up ahead would be no joke, a lifelong commitment where both would share mind, body and soul?\n\nThis is not to say it should be a law where pre-marital sex is forbidden, but it should be a personal choice made, to have self-discipline and self-control, not to let loose like a crazed animal in heat.\nAll this gives rise to disgusting sexual conduct like bestiality and so on, because no one appreciates, or respects sex as a sacred act between two, married, committed people.\nIt's not a game, it's not something you can play with.\n\nThat's why our world is full of horrible pornography where women are humped and co-erced into sex, treated like animals by the men.\nIt's disgusting. And before someone tells me, how would you know the person's sexual preferences before meeting them, or he or she has the right to do that because they are two consenting individuals - \n1. You wouldn't know your own sexual preferences if you hadn't had sex. That's why marriage is so wonderful, two loving, innocent people can explore each other legitimately and their sex lives and preferences evolve together as they live their lives together.\n2. It's true. Two consenting adults, go ahead, do it. However, wouldn't the two of them appreciate each other's deeds and thoughts of them? Wouldn't they know how commited and how thought out the person's beliefs were because this was already thought out before they met each other?\nCan a man feel comfortable hearing about his wife's ex-boyfriends? He prefers not to hear it and pretends it doesn't exist because he can't look at his lady knowing she has been with another man! And a woman, can she accept that her boyfriend or husband is a cassonova in his days of youth, can she absolutely say she knows he won't go out where his lust leads him? Temptation is all around, look at the amount of sexually permissive people around the community, the world, even, and say you're sure. Would you love him better knowing he has saved himself for the ONLY woman he'll ever have sex with, knowing how sexually active men are? This deed itself presents so much to appreciate and love in your man.

If you are a Christian you won't have sex until you're married at which time it won't matter. It's basically up to the couple then if they want a baby or not. Nice try though but as I said a Christian would not have sex outside of marriage.
