Is There a Right Time to Have Sex Without a Condom?

Today I was listening to my local radio station here in the ATL and they have what is called scruples Wednesday. The question that was asked was when is the correct time to have sex without a condom? Apparently a female was involved in a sexual act and her partner removed the condom without advising her. Hence the question.In my opinion there is really no correct time unless you and your partner are tested and not just for HIV but for everything and more than once. With that said I thought I would give you all some number's on ST D's one out of every five persons has the Herpes and only one third of that number is aware that they have the disease. There are 19 million new STD cases diagnosed annually and half are young adults between the ages of 15 and 24. So I ask when do you feel that it is cool to have intercourse of any kind without a condom? We all have done it me included and I have taken my test and waited nervous as hell for my results and have thanked God every time for that negative test result but when is enough; enough ? (I hope that everyone agrees that the only safe sex is no sex) Even when you are married unless you are both virgins and for the record a man can always be a virgin unless he has children then the cat is out of the bag. If he has no little ones running around he can say I'm a virgin and ladies we really have no way to dispute this. We ladies on the other hand are virgins only once and once it is gone it's gone. So if you are young and still a virgin protect your innocence until you find someone that respects you enough to not only be tested but to also wait until your ready. So for the questions Is there a right time to have sex without a condom? NO unless you and him have several piece's of paper that say negative for all sexually transmitted diseases and for me he would still need to glove up !

TODAY IS WORLD AIDS DAY!

Well today is the day that we are suppose to advocate HIV/AIDS awareness by wearing a red ribbon to promote dialogue about the AIDS virus. I listened to several radio morning shows today here in the Atlanta area and I was actually surprised at how little was said on black radio this morning. I know that Tom Joyner had a big thing going on for the last couple of weeks but I noticed that there was not much done on the stations that play a lot more Hip Hop & R&B. I was shocked by this especially in black radio seeing that the statistics show that HIV effecting the black community more than any other ethnicity. I hear so much about HIV/AIDS in Africa and the country is really being over run by this disease but we should also be putting the same amount of energy on HIV/AIDS here in America. I hope that everyone takes the time to talk about this disease today and goes to be tested. If you would like more information on this disease and how to find testing in your area please refer to the links on this page.
