“Sexually transmitted disease, or STD, is a serious social problem facing the world today. Fortunately, education can do a lot to control this problem. Education is particularly important for diseases such as AIDS and herpes, for which no cure exists. We must educate our society's sexually active citizens to prevent the spread of these diseases. At the very least, we should make it clear that the use of a condom during sex will keep people from getting these diseases. We should also try to calm people's fears. For example, we must make it clear they cannot get AIDS by doing certain things, such as kissing or sharing a meal. We cannot guarantee that people will listen, but the effort must be made to let them know what the dangers are, and how to prevent them.”
--Dr. Anne Motts U.S. Center for Disease Control
性傳染疾病或者稱之為STD，是當(dāng)今世界面臨的嚴(yán)重的社會(huì)問題。幸運(yùn)的是，教育能在很大程度上對其進(jìn)行控制。對于象艾滋病、皰疹這樣的至今沒有藥物醫(yī)治的疾病來說，教育尤為重要。我們必須教育社會(huì)中進(jìn)行性接觸的市民對這些疾病進(jìn)行預(yù)防。至少，我們能夠告知其明白在性行為過程中戴安全套可以防止感染疾病。我們也應(yīng)該盡力消除市民的恐懼心理。比如說，我們必須使他們明白接吻或者共餐等特定活動(dòng)并不會(huì)感染艾滋病。我們無法保證人人會(huì)聽，但是付出一定努力告知他們什么是危險(xiǎn)以及如何避免這種危險(xiǎn)卻是必要的。
