In this modern day and world, no teenager can afford to remain ignorant of AIDS. Every person who has come of age, needs to know about this relentless killer that been has stalking the earth, mowing down millions in its wake.

Promiscuousness is widely prevalent. While we, at Sitagita, do not promote a licentious lifestyle, we do realise the importance of keeping young people informed about the fatal combination of wantonness and carelessness. Talking to teenagers about this should not be perceived as encouraging them to have premarital sex. On the contrary, it cautions them against leading a hedonistic life.

So let's talk about a few basic facts of life.

• In very many countries, sixty per cent of the people infected with the HIV virus are between the ages of 15 - 24. This, if nothing else, is an excellent reason for avoiding a dissipated lifestyle.

• Indulging in drugs is certainly a form of increasing your risk to contracting AIDS. Sharing needles and injections are sure-fire bets of courting the killer disease.

• People indulging in homosexual relationships are certainly at high risk. To those who feel that there is no alternative to this lifestyle, there's still hope. Counsellors do advice you on how to follow your hearts' desires with safe methods.

• Blood transfusions need to be looked into. Always ensure that the blood has been tested for HIV infection. No matter who the donor is, this test is vital and needs to be done.

• While we join the health fraternity in advising against casual sex, we also do feel it is our duty to keep you informed on the importance of using a condom if need be.

• Latex condoms are the most effective against viruses. While a condom does reduce the risk of contracting AIDS, it isn't a foolproof method and offers no guarantee.

Nothing works as well as having a monogamous relationship and avoiding a decadent lifestyle.
