Don't Leave Home Until You're Well Packed

Family Planning and Positive Woman are encouraging people traveling overseas to make sure they are well packed with condoms and lubricant.

The two groups have joined together to educate people to carry condoms and lubricant with them overseas. Even if sex wasn't intended, unplanned sex can often take place overseas.

Jane Bruning, Co-ordinator of Positve Womans said
The fact is that the most common way of getting HIV is through sex, and condoms are still the best protection against HIV and most Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

STIs are common around the world and it’s not possible to tell if someone is infected – many people don’t even know themselves as some STIs can be present with no symptoms, Ms Bruning said. There are concerning increases in STIs in New Zealanders returning from popular holiday destinations, including the Pacific Islands.

HIV cases reach record level in New Zealand

A study from Otago University found that HIV in New Zealand is on the rise. In 2005, 183 cases of HIV were reported, up from 157 in 2004.

The study also found tat just under half of these cases were men, who had sex with another man.

An article in 999today.com reported on comments about the topic by the Ministry's public health advisor, Dr Douglas Lush.
Dr Douglas Lush, says there is no cure for HIV and AIDS but it is preventable.

Safe sex and in particular using condoms is still the best form of protection against HIV, he noted.

"Both men and women need to take responsibility for protecting themselves and their sexual partner against infection," Dr Lush said.

Creative way to promote safe sex and distribute condoms

Broome trees may push safe sex message

A western Australian town is considering introducing 'tree' condoms at local parks and hang out for youths.

The idea is to hang pvc containers containing free condoms to the surrounding trees so condoms are available at these locations.

The high rate of STIs in the area has caused this creative thinking for promoting safer sex.

Wait for the complaints! Broome Shire president Graeme Campbell expects a lot of those, but said
When you look at the fact that the population of the Kimberley comprises only 2 per cent of the population and that 48 per cent of the state's STIs occur in the Kimberley ... that's appalling.

The residential part of the village has been zoned as an alcohol free, however sex is allowed. It is thought that it wont be an issue due to lack of time and privacy in a crowded village environment.

Radionz reported that;
Organisers are supplying the village with 60,000 taxpayer funded condoms - one for each resident every day for 10 days.

Colombian town threatens 'condom fines'

Colombian town threatens 'condom fines'

A western Colombian town has come up with a novel way to try and prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease.

The new law would see men fined for not carrying condoms. The Herald covered the story and printed this:
Those who fail to show a condom would have to pay a small fine or take a three-hour course in Aids prevention in Tulua, where 14 people died of sexually transmitted diseases last year.
This type of action has run into opposition in the form of the Catholic Church. They compared this to selling guns in the street.

Can't you just see a law like this taking off in New Zealand!
