Sex education creates storm in AIDS-stricken India

[LadyBug02]

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Moves to bring sex out of the closet in largely conservative India have kicked up a morality debate between educators who say sex education will reduce HIV rates, and critics who fear it will corrupt young minds.

It's an emotive issue pitting modernists against conservatives in a country with the world's highest number of HIV cases at about 5.7 million, a figure that experts say may balloon to over 20 million by 2010.

How sad that the critics fear that sex education will corrupt young minds. India needs sex education to help reduce the HIV infection rate and other STI infection rates as well. Not to mention the fact that it would reduce unwanted pregnancies.

LadyBug02,i agree with you wholeheartedly.In an overpopulated country with serious issues in regards to health and sexually transmitted diseases it is needed.Sex education is a well debated topic in any country,but is a necessary evil to help the future generations know how to have a safe and fulfilling sexual life.
