The use of condoms in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
I understand that most people oppose the current movement against the fight against HIV pandemic,which insist the use of condoms.
majority of people,especially those with religiou background do oppose the use of condoms.they contend that condoms increase promiscuousity among people. Others outside religion believe that condoms are not effective.They on the other hand say that condoms are not scientifically HIV proof. Yet others still say that condoms are ineffective because it reduces the sexual enjoyment.
what is the solution?
Religoius people propose two things,
Abstain until marriage and once you are married be Faithful.
I a gree.these are the best protection methods against the virus.
what i don't a gree with is, they don't want to consider condom as an option too.while it might be easy for them to use religion to abstain,all people are not as religious as they are.
while it is a very good point to be faithful, it is a common knowledge that majority of people are NOT happy in their relationships(marriage) and seek sexual satisfaction outside.others can't just be satisfied with one partner and therefore tend to have multiple sexual partners.All these people however need to be protected against HIV/AIDS and so far the only way by which people can be safe and still enjoy their sexual freedom is to use protection(condom).that is for those who for one reason or the other cannot either abstain or be faithful.Statistically they are the majority.
For those who doubt the efectiveness of condoms as a tool,I would say that they are questioning the credibility of organisations like the UN,and even their own GOVERNMENT.I don't think that our government will allow its citizens to use something which is not effective.the UN is the world body with facilities and experts from around all the world,there are scientist from all walks of life.they wouldn't sit down and allow and even campaign for something which is not effective.so I urge them that if they believe the UN in other health campaigns it has carried out and succeeded in,then they should believe it even more now because this campaign need more individual commitment and willingness to change behavior so that we reduce and and eventually stop the pandemic.That alone should prove beyond doubts that condoms are effective.
The problem is, people have not been using it consistently and correctly as a result people still get pregnant,HIV and other STDs.
For those who think that using a condom is not enjoyable.Sexual enjoyment and satisfaction is an issue of attitude and readiness.Many people can attain sexual satisfaction even without actual intercourse.my point here is many people are not used to condoms and whenever they use it,the do so hurriedly and incorrectly, these, added to the negative attitude held against it leads to a dissappointing sexual experiencei.Condoms when used correctly ,consistently and in arelaxed way leads to sexual enjoyment and satisfaction as usual.all you have to do is to talk with your partner,agree and use it in an environment which is free and you'll be surprised
Let us not lie to ourselves.HIV/AIDS is apandemic which has claimed many peoples' lives and still continue to do so.More and more people are having more sex than before as freedom of premarital sex is becoming normal in our socities. It 's better to have sex more and more but in a safe way than to pretend that we abstain or be faithful and then have unsafe sex.However this is a personal preference,sex is real and good and appealing,but HIV is also real and deadly.so choose between an extremely exciting unprotected sex plus HIV or a very good satisfying sex with condoms.condoms are safe.
