The behavior of Jamaicans in regards to sexual activities needs to be changed. Many seem not to realized that it is not business as usual. Having sex is like playing

Russian roulette with your life. But why should someone take such chances? Why should some people lack the respect for themselves and their body as they continue sleeping around with Tom, Dick, and Harry if they know the dangers of STD? Some people sleeps with others knowingly that they have other sexual relationships.

It is full time that we take life more seriously and behave in a dignified manner, respect yourself and demand respect from your sexual partner. There is nothing wrong if you are not sexual active. If you want to find the right person who would respect you and your ideals. That is not too much to ask for. There is nothing wrong with having a relationship with some one before you become sexually active. It is very important that you know someone over a period of time and if you do decided to have a serious relationship get tested for STD before becoming sexually active. In this case both of you will be on the same page.

Abstinence is the way to go but many will say I am not realistic. If you cannot abstain then you should protect yourself. The choice of protection is condom, (booths). Even though this does not protect you 100%. The only thing that does protect you from acquiring STD is abstinence. Mark you there are other means of becoming infected with HIV and other disease such as blood-to-blood contact. One has to be careful of there surroundings and protect them.
