AIDS and Other
Sexually Transmitted Illnesses
| |
You may decide to have a sexual
relationship with another adult while you are in the United States. If
so, you will need to consider how to protect yourself from sexually
transmitted illness. AIDS is a rapidly expanding epidemic in the United States, and there is currently no cure for this disease which attacks the body’s immune
system. Even more common are herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and yeast infections. The only “safe sex” is no sex. However, if you choose to be sexually active, be certain to protect yourself
from illness. Do not take a chance on statements such as, “I know I have no diseases.”
