And from what Ive seen as a medical advocate, many doctors dont have enough time with their 15 minute appointments to dispense adequate information or even to care. I am probably older than you,SL, and I know from those freewheeling days before AIDS that many people just didnt give a damn about these issues and many still dont.

Fair enough, I guess that that is true. When I was a teenager and in my 20s, I was not pleased with being a virgin. But at the same time I was a bit scared of all VD, especially AIDS. I had a cousin who had contracted AIDS in the mid 1980s and died in the early 1990s. I attended his funeral when I was a boy. Family members often told me about AIDS and my cousin, so I probably got a bit paranoid from that as well.
