That's like saying to prevent STDs or pregnancy, don't have sex.

Only amongst people who don't use condoms.

Do you mean you don't want to be reminded of the risk of STDs when about to engage is sex?

It comes from personal experience. People feel like everything else is treatable so if HIV is prevented than they’re all good to take off the condom. Can’t tell you the number of times I heard this from friends about their own behavior, from people trying to have sex with me, and from others trying to have sex with my friends (condomless).Also: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m&#

HIV is not the only STD, and STDs are not the only reason to use a condom

Realize that promiscuity is a disease vector.

Easy win for reducing the spread of STDs (AIDS) in a place where contraception is taboo for a lot of the population.

Good thing they have access to condoms.
