Condoms, anyone?
Monday, March 30th, 2009Every once in a while, I stumble onto an article that makes me do a double take. The Daily Scotsman has one that made me look more than twice. From the article:
“The figures, released by Health Protection Scotland, show 3448 people were diagnosed with chlamydia in the Lothians 2008, up by 300 from the year before.
It means cases of the disease, which can lie undetected for years, havetrebled in a decade. Infection among young women, particularly teenage girls,is the biggest cause for concern.
Those aged 20-24 are most at risk, and nationally 61 girls and two boys under 15 were infected last year. More than 4500 teenage girls were diagnosed nationwide, compared to 1243 ten years ago.”
This is the 21st Century, could we please get with it on the condoms? You have no reason not to be protected during sexual intercourse. Condoms are an inexpensive way to keep from catching a nasty STI. Remember, play it safe and you’ll have more fun.
