Some Countries still Police Condom Use The use of condoms is currently one of the most popular and widely adopted forms of contraception. In the United States, the United Kingdom and most other developed countries, people are encouraged to use condoms to help curtail the spread of STDs, HIV and rapid population growth, which has been identified in the past as contributory to the economic problems and poverty among constituents. Free Condoms at the Kern County Fair in California The annual Kern County Fair and Parade in California was recently subject to a confrontation of ideas. Held sometime in October 2007, the fair was attended by people from all over Kern County who came to celebrate and have a good time together. There were all kinds of people attending, and all kinds of groups and organizations hosting booths. In the Democratic Party booth, volunteers were organized to give away packs of condoms for free to college students. Some people attending the fair were unhappy about this. Nepalese Wives Send Condoms To Husbands Overseas Women who live in a village in Nepal have been taking their husband's health into their own hands. They have been mailing condoms to their husbands who are working overseas. They are attempting to protect their husbands from sexually transmitted diseases. Zambian First Lady Says: Demand Safe Sex AIDS statistics in Zambia are staggering: There are approximately one million people who are infected with AIDS in Zambia. The life expectancy of somebody born in Zambia is under 40, mostly due to the impact AIDS/HIV has had on this society. About 57% of those infected with the AIDS virus are women. Of these women infected with AIDS, those who are between the ages of 15 and 24 are twice as likely to be infected as men of the same age. Between the ages of 14 and 19, that ratio jumps to six times as likely to be infected as men of the same age. Indonesia Launches First National Condom Campaign Living in the United States, it is hard to believe that condoms would not be an enormous part of any other country’s safe sex initiative. In this country, you think “safe sex” and your mind automatically visualizes condoms. However, in Indonesia, condoms do not even account for 1% of the types of contraception that are normally used. There is hope that this will change with Indonesia’s first national condom campaign that will continue for one week and will begin on December 1st, 2007, the same day as World AIDS Day. This campaign’s primary goal is to promote, distribute and educate to the masses about the benefits of condoms against pregnancy and HIV, amongst other sexually transmitted diseases. World AIDS Day 2007 Since its inception in 1998, World AIDS Day has fought strongly to gain awareness, support and money to promote its campaign to educate the masses about the impact of AIDS and to rally against the prejudices and injustices those living with AIDS still face today. With the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimating that almost 40 million people live with HIV in the world today and, add to that, the 4 million who were infected with HIV just last year, the coordinators of World AIDS Day have their work cut out for them. For just one day, World AIDS Day 2007 will be here reminding the world that HIV is not a disease that can be swept under the rug and forgotten.
