Almost half of under-25s 'never use a condom with a new partner'

[Sicarius87]

Condoms are for pussies.

I see what you did there.

Condoms are for pussies.

So is Star Trek

[harruin]

Then you would know it isn't virtually none existent lol It says so

We clearly have different definitions of "virtually non-existent".

[Kithelle]

I've mentioned it on here before but, most women I've met over the years seem to take offense to the idea that I want to use condoms, so I can't say I find this surprising, even if it is in another country.

I'd whip out a pad and paper, make her sign a note that says if she gets pregnant the baby is all her responsibility...see if she isn't so offended after that lol

Obviously because 1 in 1500 certainly isn't virtually none existent

[Saucexorzski]

Humans are lazy and dont care about what is taught to them? could have told you that after abstinence failed lol

Besides transmission is dependent on the HIV+ person and whether they're on medication

2500, remember?

Living in denial also, "It won't happen to me".

For men but you're also missing an important factor

INCREASE HIV RISK
H Acute infection, roughly the 12 weeks after contracting HIV, can increase transmission likelihood 26 times,
raising a 1.43% risk to 37%—higher than 1 in 3. This is because viral load skyrockets during the acute phase.
H Presence of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can amplify risk by as much as 8 times.
H Exposure to gender inequality and intimate partner violence can raise a woman’s HIV risk 1.5 times.

I would say "it comes from the home education". Parents also have a obligation to enlighten their children about this. However, for some parents "what's an obligation? "

I learned very little from my school and nothing from my parents about sex.

How old are you and what country?

[Fonduset]

Condoms are for cowards

[SoulForge]

I mean, lack of education kind of is an excuse though. That is literally why it's such a problem in some areas.

Some areas? ALL areas. A stupid populace is easier to manipulate.

Norway, 38.

We had one class(an hour(or 50min)) talking about sex and safety surrounding it. Stuff like condoms and infections, think it was 7 or 8 grade.

One hour was better then nothing but would have liked more, or it being repeated a few times during my school years.

I'm pretty sure everybody knows No Condoms = Babies/STI. The education on the % and grisly details may be lost but the basics are as common as "Drinking poison is bad"

[Exeris]

When you say it like that, I don't know if it's good or bad thing. In my case, I listened parents and at school and then watching school friends going insane.

To be clear my parents never spoke a word about sex, think they where to ashamed.

So you was taught the basics

Seriously WTF is wrong with people, lack of education is no excuse /sigh!

Well it IS the reason though.

Those increases are what probably account for the entirety of the transmission rates for men during heterosexual sex. The women getting it are either getting it from drug use, men who use drugs, or bi men.

Well it IS the reason though.

It's basically impossible to go to anything gay related and not having HIV warning signs and talk about how condoms must be used. Yet their rates are still sky high. How much more education can be targeted to the gay population?
