Who has a friend or knows of someone that has unprotected sex? Have any of you ever had unprotected sex? Well today I will be persuading you to always have safe sex, because you could get HIV/AID, Chlamydia or Pregnant.
The biggest risk that a person takes when they choose to have unprotected sex is contracting the HIV/ AID virus. HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS. A member of a group of viruses called retroviruses, HIV infects human cells and uses the energy and nutrients provided by those cells to grow and reproduce. AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease in which the body's immune system breaks down and is unable to fight off certain infections, known as "opportunistic infections," and other illnesses that take advantage of a weakened immune system. A person who has HIV carries the virus in certain body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. The virus can only be transmitted if any of those fluids enter the bloodstream of another person. The best defense against HIV/AID virus is a condom, only latex condoms, not lamb skin because the lamb skin condoms have pores and the virus can get through it.

The estimated number of new cases of HIV is 42,0 00 each year....
