Wow. I got a response to something I posted more than 6 months ago.

I agree that two virgins have an extremely low risk of contracting HIV. I suppose it would be possible if one of them had been infected by some means other than sex, such as a blood transfusion, which also carries an extremely low risk of infection.

But teenagers who are engaging in sexual activities should not assume that their partners are virgins. Furthermore, sodomy and intercourse are not the only sexual activities that can transmit HIV and other STDs. Many teenagers may wrongly assume that they can engage in other sexual activities with no risk.

I understand what you say but apparently my entire reply didn't register.

1. Teens should not be having any sexual activity at all.

2. If they shun 'homosexuals' (and IV drug users) or anyone who associates with 'homosexuals' then they will be safe from HIV.

We cannot protect them from everything but we can lay out the facts. If they abstain from sexual activity until they get married, and ensure that their future spouse has also abstained, then they'll never have any STD let alone a fatal one.
