OTTAWA, June 11, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Statistics Canada revealed that rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are continuing to climb, despite the prevalence of "sex education," and despite the promotion of the so-called "safe sex" message. Rates for three major sexually-transmitted infectious diseases -- chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis -- have all risen from 2002 to 2003, with the most dramatic increase seen in the syphilis rate, which has almost doubled.
Health Canada had earlier set a goal of complete eradication of gonorrhea by 2010, and a reduction in cases of syphilis and chlamydia by 2010.
Health Canada's web-site widely endorses the use of condoms as a form of "protection" from sexually transmitted disease. Evidence of the benefit of such advice, as revealed above, shows that this recommendation is of dubious value.
