Try this for size

You don’€™t like condoms? Try this for size: 45% of South African adults will be infected by HIV within the next ten years. Can you believe that? No. Can you imagine it? No.

Yet this is what the country’€™s leading AIDS experts are telling us. And they are saying that it’€™s not just possible, or probable, but that it is definitely going to be that way unless we get our safer sex act together ‘€“ now.

So lets look at it again.

45% of South African adults will be HIV positive within the next ten years. And 55% of South African adults will be HIV negative. Which group will you be in?

Don’€™t think your chances are roughly equal. They depend entirely on what you chose to do. To use a condom or not to use a condom, that is the question.

Answer that question and you’€™ll know which group you’€™ll be in. ‘€“ health-e news agency
