a common thought

There are many ideas and beliefs that trascend culture and situation. It was mentioned in class the a couple of weeks ago that it is common for many people (whether they are gay, straight, monogamous, or a seller of sex) to equate using a condom, or not using one, to an issue of love. Prostitutes are famous for charging extra for kissing or hugging, something one would expect to be related to a romantic feeling..but using a not using a condom? I guess it can make sense. Maybe it is just an excuse for clients who are trying to convince them to do otherwise. It is so important to count every group, every individual, in the "war on HIV", but the list is so extensive. I just feel like it is such a daunting task that sometimes it feels like a losing battle. I am still completely up to talking with the school board, or whoever is in charge, and getting more condoms in the residence halls on campus, and hopefully in the student union. If a group could make light of an issue like sex and give prizes (like the sex festival last year that only lasted two days) every other week, imagine what we could do in spreading the word and helping the fight!
