Today the modern generation is facing a severe problem of sexually transmitted diseases. It has become necessary for all to be aware of the diseases and to know the methods to prevent them from such incurable diseases. All of us know about condoms but how exact is our knowledge about condoms and its use one cannot say. It becomes very important to talk about condoms. The HIV Testing Day started a very good move towards imparting knowledge on HIV/AIDS and also giving information on safe sex and use of condoms. People gain a lot of knowledge through such programs.

Generally people feel shy to talk about the use of condoms as they know that they are going to be laughed at. People should not hesitate to talk about condoms and more than that the ones who know about the use of condoms should seriously talk about it so that nobody feels shy. Off course you can have a light joke about it but never let the person questioning feel embarrassed. When you talk about the use of condoms you are giving very important information to your friend and doing good work, as the listener will be protected in some way from the knowledge you impart. Moreover the way you reply will also encourage your other friends to open up and talk frankly about the condoms. There wont be any taboos about condoms and the use of it.

Not talking about condom use could create problems. You should be frank with your partner to talk about condoms. It could be that your partner does not want to use the condom as he or she feels that it will lower the pleasure or could be that your partner especially the male partner feels offended. You can always open up and explain your reasons. After all it is a matter of life. Both the partners could be at a risk of getting the disease much talked about. None of you would like either of the partners to be infected with the disease. Condoms protect you from becoming parents and prevent you from the infectious disease HIV/AIDS therefore there is no harm in talking about the use of condoms with your partners too.

Parents too should open up and talk to their children about sex, use of condoms and sexually transmitted diseases. There are a number of teenagers who involve in unsafe sex. If they are made aware of the causes of the HIV/AIDS and STD and how the use of condoms can protect from getting the infection then the number of HIV victims will definitely fall down. Unless the awareness is not created the children will not know the facts and dangers of unprotected sex. So parents should make it a point to talk about the condom use which is necessary for them.
