[quote][quote] whether abstinence is counted in or is the relevant counselling limited to prevention only? [/quote] I personally think that sex education must include the notion of abstinence. However, I also feel that safer sex methods also need to be provided just to be on the safe side. Providing one and leaving the other is bound to lead to problems. I like the way the following is written: http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/common/sexinfections/sti/165.html Can STIs be prevented? Yes. The only sure way to prevent STIs is by not having sex. If you have sex, you can lower your risk of getting an STI by only having sex with someone who isn't having sex with anyone else and who doesn't have an STI. Remember, though, that condoms aren't 100% safe and can't protect you from coming in contact with some sores, such as those that can occur with herpes, or warts, which can be caused by HPV infection. **************** The reason that safer sex methods also need to be intimated is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_sex Virginity pledges and sexual abstinence education programs are often promoted in lieu of contraceptives and safe-sex education programs. This can place some teenagers at higher risk of unintended pregnancy and STDs, because up to 60 percent of teenagers who pledge virginity until marriage do engage in pre-marital sex and are then one-third less likely to use contraceptives than their peers who have received more traditional sex education.[/quote]
