Science has managed to keep up and develop new drugs to combat the minor diseases and viruses rampant during sexual encounters. But with HIV, the science is still years
behind in finding a cure. So it's safer to take a few
seconds putting on a condom than spending years taking drugs that ultimately
can't alter your mistake. Who am I to tell you to use protection? Well,
I'll tell you...
It seemed like he was flirting with me. He, a lady's man? But he kept
making suggestions about me giving him oral sex and I loved it. It was
dirty and it was wrong (because he had a fiancée), but that only
added to the excitement. We arranged to meet up in the pub. He had a tight
T-shirt on, showing off his pecs and toned stomach. He was so hot. After
a few drinks, we ended up going for a walk in the Castle Gardens. He took
me into a cave. It was dark, dank and dirty;
I loved it. We started kissing and I had the best sex ever. Never once
did we consider using a condom. We didn't even think about it.
I conducted a survey at a local school and was appalled at how little
they knew about things like this. They still failed to see the importance
of wearing a condom and still failed to realise how much they risk. It's
not just about pregnancy, it's not just about Aids, it's about having
enough respect for yourself and your partner to think: "Hey, If I've
got anything, I don't want them to catch it".
We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. The next day I was
talking to people about him and about his promiscuity and sexual encounters
and someone made a joke about catching Aids from him... I panicked.
What if I had caught something off him? What if he never used protection
with anyone? Why was I so stupid?
My health went downhill. I was convinced it was something he had given
me. I really did think I was going to die. Sounds dramatic don't it? It
turned out to be just a dose of flu. But I felt I had risked my life for
pleasure.
