All ty do is show us photos of infected genitals and expect us to not have sex until we get married. They don't mention anything about condoms, morning after pills, and that they should practice safe sex. Also, society treats the subject of sex as though it is taboo and that it's dirty. This attitude has to change otherwise no matter how much you try to educate people about safe sex and condoms, people will treat condoms like they are disgusting and the very act of buying a packet of condoms is perverted.

However, just as important as the development of the guidelines is the group of teachers recruited or trained to teach young people on such an issue. It is easy to give facts but very difficult to separate facts and cultural/personal values. Teachers of sex education must be able to put their values aside and provide accurate and unbias information to young people. Will we be able to deliver that?
