ARE CONDOMS EDUCATION OR ALLUSION TOOLS?

Posted on December 5th, 2009 in Global Focus Contagious_Disease, HIV/AIDS, Pandemic

Before discussing about this, I like to inform you about the HIV/AIDS statistic in Indonesia. I think this’s the good point to start. Let’s see. From January 1st, 1987 to September 30th, 2009, there’re 18.442 HIV/AIDS cases reported in Indonesia. In 2009, the number is declining significantly almost 50% from the previous year. See the chart below.

Note : IDU = Injected Drug Users

This statistic give us a quite big hope that the HIV/AIDS prevent program is succesful. But, please don’t be rush to give a resume. Below the statistic of source of HIV-transmission.

As you can see, sexual-activity has given the largest number of HIV-transmission, followed by Injected Drug users at the second place. This statistic gives us a very good reason why people like to give out condoms with moral message : love, responsibility, and safe sex.

Then, below is the statistic of the sex comparison of the AIDS-infected human.

Again, you can see that less female have uses drugs. It assumes a lot of them have done unsafe sex before get infected with HIV/AIDS. Again, it’s a good reason for us to give out condoms. I hope this will be really good next.

But, have your time. I found something interesting here. I like to compare the growth of AIDS with IDU and AIDS without IDU for this last ten years.

Interesting result, isn’t it? AIDS/IDU growth has a very similar result with Total Growth, not like AIDS/Non IDU. We always see the most infected-population, but we forgot to prevent ourselves from the source. Using drug injection is considered as the real source of HIV transmission rather than sexual activity. So, why bother to give out condoms? Sex-transmission is the following step. When these infected drug users have sex, they transmitted the virus at once. However, we must prevent ourselves from drugs, but we don’t prevent ourselves for sexual activity. The promotion of condoms-usage program seems very promising. This’s not a medical way. This is a truly commercial way.

Condoms Are Not Education Tools

Using condom, what for? The first condoms- give out-program was aimed to those sex entertainment doers, because they have the most potential risk of being infected with HIV/AIDS. So, condoms have taught them something : “Use me, and you’re free to do sex, because HIV can’t penetrate me. I’m a virus-unpenetrateable.” This is like ordering your children to put on their uniform and let them jump into the mud.

I don’t see any education in that program, unless prevent their consumers from being infected with HIV. The sex industries must go on. They have to make some money. For us, condoms are allusion tools, because we are not sex entertainment doers.

A friend of mine get infected with HIV/AIDS. Please, don’t give her condoms. It really hurts her feeling. She got infected not through sexual activity, but through tattoo-making.

Last, but no the least, if we really care about HIV-infected people, then give them the cure. If there’s still no any cure yet, give them the real good solution. This world of medical must unite to find the cure. We don’t care where it came from, not only from modern medicine or alternative medicine, the cure has been being waited for so long. Again, don’t give them condoms. It’s a very feeling-hurter. If we really concern of HIV-preventing, say and do this : No Drugs. No Free Sex.

Do you know what the condoms are for? They prevent you from getting pregnant. That’s all! That’s why they are created. I don’t talk about how effective condoms in HIV prevention. Say again, it’s aimed to sex entertainment doers and the people of countries who have bad sex behaviour. There’s a very good advice from P J Feldblum, M J Welsh, M J Steiner in their writing entitled Don’t overlook condoms for HIV prevention.

Promoting condoms is undeniably difﬁcult, yet hopes for better access to HIV treatment in the future cannot divert us from the prevention needs of the present. Vast numbers of adolescents
and young adults enter the sexual and reproductive arena annually. Condoms are efﬁcacious and, broadly speaking, currently available. We can and must make rapid progress on the fundamental necessity for making condoms readily available when and where people need them. Reaching men with effective condom promotion messages is key in communities where sexual decision making is male dominated. High risk groups must remain a key target in nascent, concentrated, or generalised epidemics, even as we make strides to eliminate barriers to use in the general population. To strike a better balance between prevention and treatment, we urge donors to do more now to learn how best to promote condom-use as part of a package of comprehensive primary HIV prevention through behaviour change.

I write this as a medical doctor and for Care and Healed : Get Healed after You Care. I realize that with or without any give-out condoms program, the cure-finding for HIV/AIDS still in progress. The more we concern of using condoms, the more we’ve been taught to stay away from the HIV-infected people. We just don’t realize it. We know that how effective the condoms are, so be it.

There’re 3 sequence steps to promote condoms in a good way :

Knowing when and where people need them
Prior to change bad behaviour and environment
The main reason of condoms-usage is to prevent from being pregnant. But, for them who get HIV-infected, condoms give them protection and prevent them from transmitting it to their beloving persons. It will be a really big help for them.

Remember. No Drugs. No Free Sex. If we don’t start to act right now, who will? Feel free to comment.
