It has been observed that by the time children move to 9th grade, 33% of kids become sexually active but only 45% of teenagers use condoms.
Furthermore, post menopause, women do not tend to use condoms since they are not bothered about getting pregnant anymore.
It is surprising that our movies, TV shows, and magazines are full of sex, yet we are reluctant to talk about sex openly.
Similarly, our youth can discuss and share all kinds of intimate details on social networking sites but hesitate to talk about it in person. Even doctors do not take a frank approach to discuss sex related issues with their patients.
If you are married, do not think that you are safe from this life-threatening disease. Do not indulge in casual sex even with your partner.
Using a condom every time you have sexual intercourse lowers the chances of getting HIV from an infected partner by 85%.
Dr. Jennifer Gunter, famous Gynaecologist, and a leading expert in the field of sexual health, says that in 1985 only 8% of women were HIV positive but the number swelled to 27% in 2005. That means every 35 minutes, one woman is testing positive for HIV in the United States.
In the United States, more than 1 million people are HIV positive, and over 25% are not aware of the fact that they are bitten by this deadly virus.

(CNN) — When a new president strolls into the White House, there’s a kick in his step and a twinkle in his eyes.
But as the years go by, the high-stakes decisions, constant criticisms and the fluctuating public opinion chip away at the president. His shoulders slump a little and his energy may seem sapped.
The president ages twice as fast while in office, according to a theory advanced by Dr. Michael Roizen, a chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic.
“The typical person who lives one year ages one year,” he said. “The typical president ages two years for every year they are in office.”
This is what he projects Obama will look like four years from now.

Scenes from Pakistan
The government of Pakistan announced on Monday that it would accept Islamic Sharia Law to be implemented in its Swat Valley region, as part of a truce with local Taliban leaders. Militants had been demanding Sharia law, attacking opponents, burning scores of girls' schools and banning many forms of entertainment. Gun battles between Pakistani security forces and militants have killed hundreds, while up to a third of the valley's 1.5 million people have fled. A nuclear power with a growing economy, Pakistan's government is still struggling for control of the country, coping with internal clashes and terrorism, that can bleed over and involve neighbors and allies, including militant attacks in India, and excursions into Afghanistan - inviting U.S. military operations that follow the attackers back into Pakistan.
