Quote by JudyTV
Its the spreading of infection in general and HIV in particular that the UK and other countries are fighting to control. As we debate this issue people are coming off aircraft at airports all over the UK as we speak who are infected with HIV and Aids. Those of us who recklessly ignore the government and Medical experts warnings and information regarding safe sex are increasing the chances of their children and their grandchildren of being infected with a number of STDs. People are dieing in their thousands worldwide due to this devastating human infection. We in this country are potentially killing the children of tomorrow by disregarding simple advise.

I'm going to have to disagree with this paragraph I'm afraid Judy - you give the impression that people who don't practise safer sex are putting the lives of the population in general at a greater risk.
In a literal way, I agree with what Judy said about putting your chldren at risk by barebacking. I know this is an extreme example, but have you considered the implications for children born to mothers with HIV?
These kids are as good as born with death sentence, yet had committed no crime. They will probably not reach late their 20's at best? Every year, there are hundreds of babies born in this country alone to mothers with HIV. The situation in African countries is too tragic to fully contemplate.
No offence to you Roger and this isn't aimed at you. But it troubles me that people in other countries die because nobody told them any better/helped them with protection. Yet there are people here who have been told, yet for some reason that still baffles me are willing to risk themself, and find that they arent going to be around for long. I know that African people may not necessarily be your problem or concern, but its something to think about.
Speaking of helping people, rather than bombing Iraqis with artillery, wouldnt money have been better spent on bombing the Africans with condoms and leaflets? Maybe even the odd bag of grain? Something else to think about.
