A woman has to be submissive....this is in the bible, also embraced by many cultures. Times are changing and so is the world. How far should should a woman submit?
Remember these are just my sentiments; you can easily talk about almost anything with your friends, co-workers, family etc. AIDS will be the last topic people will want to bring up, married people especially because they feel that this implies problems in their relationships. Married couples should be comfortable to discuss safe sex without straining the relationship or second guessing each other.
HIV/AIDS can be acquired in may different ways other than sexually, your partner is likely to tell you about it if they contracted it through a hospital accident than if it was through drug use or having multiple partners.
Men carry or suggest the use of condoms without being labeled anything, when women do the same they have a name for them. Women in third world countries have it even harder because of the cultural and traditional beliefs.
All i am trying to say is that, lets us change with time and be realistic. Encourage and educate each other about practicing safe sex and stop stigmatising people that are trying to make positive changes, especially women. HIV/AIDS does not have a special selection of who contracts it. If you have respect for human life, you will practice safe sex and avoid knowingly transmitting the virus. Get tested before deciding to get pregnant. If you are pregnant make sure you get medical care. Women be careful of someone who refuses to use protection and also as much as it will bother you if a long time partner suggests using condoms be appreciative, remember this person cares for you and is probably saving your life.
*Do not judge others.
