Science / Medicine : Game With a Message
<i> From Times staff and wire service reports </i>
The British Medical Assn. has approved a game for schoolchildren with cards depicting condoms and sperm donation to teach children 11 to 18 about the dangers of AIDS. The game released last week consists of 28 cards depicting a range of social and sexual activities that children are asked to define as either safe or as posing a risk of transmitting acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Among the safe behaviors are shaking hands, kissing, sharing food, donating blood and coughing and sneezing.
Those labeled unsafe include sexual intercourse without a condom, sharing sex toys such as vibrators, sharing needles if using drugs and mixing blood to seal a blood-brother relationship.
