'Free sex' condoned in ad

From Republika

Realistically, no husband would need to use a condom because he suspects his wife will infect him with AIDS. That's why the public service ad aired on all the TV channels, in which Harry Roesli and his friends sing a song about using a condom, must be intended for men who want to have sex with women other than their wives.

As it is yet to be proven beyond doubt that the use of a condom can prevent one from being infected by AIDS, it is feared that the commercial will instead increase the number of AIDS- infected people.

If having sex with someone other than a spouse is very likely to infect you with AIDS, the anti-AIDS commercial must firmly recommend that people never engage in this kind of sexual intercourse. It is certainly not wise to recommend the use of condom then as it only promotes extra-marital sexual intercourse. Hopefully, all relevant parties will pay serious attention to this matter.
