Abstract
- This article presents an editorial on AIDS prevention. The author writes that he has a particular affinity to condom use because of its effectiveness in preventing disease transmission when used properly. The author also discusses abstinence and notes that adolescents, who are usually the target of such education are not the main transmitters of the disease, but rather people in their 20s and 30s have the highest instances of transmission. The author writes that other behaviors that must be targeted include the practice of multiple partners. The author notes that some people view condoms as a way to continue in risky sexual behavior, and that some long-term couples are unwilling to use condoms.
