There is No Safe sex

 

            In the article, "There Is No Safe Sex", Robert C.
             Noble, an infectious-diseases and AIDS doctor, addresses a .
             debate over the issuance of condoms and safe sex. He argues .
             that condoms are not completely safe and views the concept of .
             safe sex as a bad idea. To support his argument, he cites .
             the results of government tests which proved that condoms only .
             reduce the risk of AIDS, a disease with a 100 percent death .
             rate. Additionally, he states that condoms could break during .
             intercourse. For condoms to be effective, they must be worn .
             throughout sex and imperishable, but the government cannot .
             guarantee the latter.
             Noble discusses that people are not telling their partners .
             of their STD's. That piece of information is important because .
             looks can be deceiving. To justify this statement, he mentions .
             one of his patients appears to be healthy, but has AIDS, despite .
             practicing safe sex. However, he concedes that condoms are the .
             only form of protection from STD's for the sexually active.
             He believes the message of "Safe Sex" is misleading .
             and should not be promoted. He refers to a study which shown .
             condom usage has only risen by a small percentage. He attributes .
             this fact to the brain not functioning properly during .
             passionate moments which causes people to forget about their .
             only form of protection. .
             With STD's on the rise and becoming more resistant to .
             treatment, Noble determines that he will educate his children on .
             the dangers of premarital sex because the media promotes high-.
             risk lifestyles. Few argue for abstinence or virginity. He .
             states that a broken condom or the nonuse of one could leave .
             one with an incurable disease, inability to bear children, or a .
             death sentence. .
