[A Ruckus of Dogs]

We have a problem in the UK because all the education has focused on HIV and none of it on the lesser-known, but more virilent STDs.

Why wouldn't education for HIV (i.e. condoms) not work for STDs in general? The method of prevention is the same.

Because it's so amazingly difficult for a straight, non drug using man to contract HIV through normal sex (68 in the UK in 1997), that people just write off the risk. This is a decision they make shortly before contracting Syphilis!
