Teaching Abstinence to Prevent AIDS

In today’s society we teach driver’s education i.e., defensive or safe driving. Why? To save lives. We also teach CPR to save lives. Abstinence may be preferable or “fool (around) proof”); but to teach safe sex in schools would be to save lives. I don’t believe learning safe sex promotes the act any more than learning defensive driving encourages me to hit the 110 Freeway and wreck my car.
