Condoms 'should top Christmas list'
World Aids Day
A packet of condoms should be at the top of everyone's Christmas wish list, according to one charity. Oxfam is offering the unusual gift as one of five "Positive Pressies" launched this year as part of a new campaign to tackle HIV and Aids. The campaign, launched to tie in with World Aids Day, will help to directly tackle the spread of HIV by encouraging safe sex and providing condoms.
Anyone who orders one of these gifts will receive information about their present, while the gift itself will go to individuals or communities in the developing world.
Georgia Stokes, Oxfam Campaigner in the Midlands said: "By buying these presents from Oxfam Unwrapped people are giving the priceless gift of safe sex, and a longer, healthier life to many thousands of people in the developing world. Tackling Aids doesn't just mean people live longer - it also means that the main breadwinners for many families are able to keep providing for them."
She added: "By buying from Oxfam Unwrapped this December you can help us to tackle HIV and Aids one condom at a time."
Other Christmas gifts available in the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue include bags of seeds and training to help farmers in the developing world to make a better living, toilets, schools and emergency response kits.

Experience is something you can TRY to pass on to others but it aint gonna work most of the time. My main intention here is to make these young uns AWARE so they can make an educated decision and maybe prevent themselves ending up looking like your namesake!
I wouldn't presume to TELL them what to do because like myself when told, they'll like as not do the exact opposite just for the pure hell of it. Nope. Give them choices and decent information about the alternatives works far better in the long run.
