SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 3 (LifeSiteNews) – While school sex education materials in Canada and the US promote oral sex as a safe alternative to intercourse, a new study has found that AIDS can be passed through such practises. By extension, many other sexually transmitted diseases are also probably transmitted this way. The study released Tuesday found that oral sex was probably the cause of 8 percent of recent HIV infections among a group of homosexual men examined in San Francisco.
New diagnostic tests allow doctors to narrow down the timing of HIV infections thus making possible a pinpointing of the method of infection. The study was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the University of California at San Francisco.
LifeSite reported last June that a BC mother complained to her district school board after her daughter in grade 7 received information about oral sex. In the US, such “education” has spawned oral sex parties among young people.
