web009, thanx for bringing forth a very important issue that we've failed to deem it as important in our society. The statistics are absolutely staggering. What is also interesting that the younger generation in cities like KTM, who claim to have brought a sexual revolution, in urban areas are equally vulnerable. In a society like ours, where talking bout sex is a taboo, the practice of safe sex is a distant myth. The opening of beauty parlors and cabin restaurants that have mushroomed all over the cities haven't helped this cause, but even medical students who are on a HIGH enjoying freedom away from their home do not acknowledge the importance of safe sex or/and are not comfortable going to a pharmacy to get a protection. That to me was shocking! I guess its high time that we all realize the importance of sex education in schools & homes!
