Czechs practice unsafe sex - Prague Daily Monitor
Young Czechs practice unsafe sex, according to a Mladá fronta Dnes survey. Out of 139 young people questioned, 60 percent indicated that they don't use condoms. Most of them indicated that they are not afraid of contracting HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. There are currently 920 registered HIV cases in the country, but medical experts say that number could be five times higher. They say HIV cases continue to rise each year. There were 93 new cases last year.

Earlier last year MF Dnes reported that only about a third of young people use a condom during their first sexual encounter. Experts put it down to educational insufficiency. Sex ed lessons, they say, are too dry, and only present information without allowing students to debate the relevant issues.
