TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL:

Warning over sex disease 'crisis' (BBC, 2/22/03)

A national safe sex campaign is needed to counter a dramatic rise in the number of cases of sexually transmitted diseases, a group of MPs has warned.

They described the problem as a full blown crisis and said it particularly affects young people who have become complacent about the risks.

One of the groups causing the most concern was young women, who were increasingly likely to be infected. [...]

The latest official figures show a big rise in the number of HIV cases, but there is a similar increase in the incidence of more traditional diseases like gonorrhoea and syphilis.

Gee, who'da thunk that the government telling youngsters to engage in anal sex would lead to a rise in disease? Posted by Orrin Judd at February 22, 2003 8:19 AM
