> Practicing safe sex (regardless of your or your partner's antibody > status) is what prevents the spread of AIDS. Safe sex education > not antibody testing!!!!!! Correct, and it is VERY important. It is also best to get into the *habit* of practicing SAFE sex, even if we could be sure that our partner were totally safe from years of experience with that individual. Some time in the future, even if a person were monogomous, one or the other might die from natural causes. At that time, the other partner would perhaps look for a new partner. If they had not been practicing safe sex, it might be difficult to begin and they could get into trouble. -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!noao!asuvax!stjhmc!103!527!Bob.Johnston Internet: Bob.Johnston@f527.n103.z1.fidonet.org

For instance: At what risk is a male RECEIVING oral sex of getting the virus? or: At what risk is a male having unprotected intercourse with promiscuous female? Please don't flame me, I am getting a divorce and have to start thinking about AIDS, sex, relationships, etc. I haven't studied safe sex too much since I got married, but now I have to. Thanks in advance, James E. Ward f0057@uafhp.UUCP
