適合所有人的安全性行為  
現今,我們認識到AIDS由人類免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)所引起,它通過血液、精液和陰道分泌物(以及乳汁——但從乳汁傳染與性行為沒有多大的聯繫——譯者注)從感染者傳播到未感染者。只要避免了這些體液的交換,不會發生感染。所以,“安全性行為”的全部建議歸結為這個簡潔的忠告:

性接觸期間,
避免血液、精液和陰道分泌物的交換!

咋一看,這個忠告顯得簡單,要遵守起來卻不大容易。字裏行間隱含著大家一時不能覺察到的深刻意義。此外,這個忠告被越來越多的人們所知曉,因為“安全性行為”不僅有助於預防AIDS,而且有助於預防許多其他性傳播疾病(STDs)。某些性傳播疾病從前罕見,現在卻常見,尤其在青年人中間更常見了。繼而,這些疾病會增加感染AIDS的風險。
本節將詳細討論這個問題。

 

Safer Sex - Historical Notes

Safe Sex for Everyone 
Today we know that AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which can be transmitted from an infected to an uninfected person through blood, semen, and vaginal fluids. No infection occurs as long as the exchange of such body fluids is avoided. Therefore, all “safer sex” recommendations boil down to this simple advice:

During sexual contact,
avoid the exchange of blood, semen, and vaginal fluid!

Simple as this advice appears at first glance, it is not so easily followed. It carries a number of implications that are not immediately apparent to everyone. Furthermore, the advice is now given to more and more people, because “safer sex” helps prevent not only AIDS but also many other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Some of these were formerly rare but have now become common, especially among young people. These diseases, in turn, increase the risk of contracting AIDS.
The following sections will discuss these issues in detail.
