ARE CONDOMS REALLY "SAFE ?"
Fact: The AIDS virus is 450 times tinier than a microscopic-size sperm. All it takes is one small pinhole. Or one little rip, slip or tear-and you've got AIDS.
Fact: In a study of married couples, 30% of the people who relied on condoms for protection from their HIV positive partners caught the virus.
Fact: Nobody knows for sure exactly how deadly "safe sex" is, but we do know that one in five adolescents using condoms is pregnant at the end of one year.
Fact: A boy can only get a girl pregnant one week a month, but an HIV infected partner can give you the AIDS virus 365 days a year.
So think about it: Telling your friend to put a mere balloon between their healthy body and a deadly disease is irresponsible - it's like telling someone who's driving drunk to simply use a seat belt.
