This state of affairs is ridiculous; these stupid power struggles that go on between individuals or organisations pushing a political or moral agenda beggar belief. They cost lives too.
Safe sex education needs to reach as many people as possible which means that it has to stick with the facts – no moralising or philosophy – when you begin venturing down that road you lose people. It has to spell out accepted medical truths in as blunt and simple fashion as is possible.
By sticking with teaching the facts - you represent all perspectives but you so in an objective way.
Furthermore you have people’s trust. They know you are not bullshitting them. If people think that the safe sex information they are receiving is hitched to some kind of moral agenda and they don’t happen to agree with that agenda then they will not listen. You have to give as much factual information as is possible.
The fact remains if you abstain from sex then your chances of catching an STD are dramatically reduced.
If you choose to have sex but make correct use of a condom while you are not completely free from the risk of infection your chances of catching something are minimal.
If you have unprotected sex with multiple partners you are placing yourself and others at a high risk.
At the heart of safe sex is simple common sense knowledge that everyone knows.
