Seventy-Percent of A.I.D.S. Patients are from the Younger Generations in Hsinbei City

This leads to the debate of whether or not to have vending machines on campus that sold condoms, from the Newspapers, translated…

Inconvenient to buy condoms in school, fifty percent of the students are having sex without the rubber, the promotion of setting up condom vending machines on campus, most of the schools are against it, right now, only SEVEN of the universities allowed for it.

Should there be condom vending machines on college campuses?  A year ago, when the program to set up the vending machines by the Hsinbei City Sanitary Department, it was talked down on, of the nineteen college and university campuses in Hsinbei City, there were only seven campuses that set up the machines, most of the schools are still against it, the Sanitary Department told, that there were, nearly fifty-percent of college students who were having sex without the rubber, and this year, the cases of A.I.D.S. infected people are 338, and, seventy percent of them are ages thirty-five and younger, the schools should really take the Safe Sex advocacy seriously.

The Disease Control section’s assistant manager, Chen said, that the condom vending machines in the campuses are usually set up closer to the men’s bathrooms, and in corners that are barely noticeable, that it would be convenient and private for the students to get them, and each one sells for just $10N.T.s, with two condoms, and a lubricant, as well as an educational pamphlet, the pricing is a whole lot cheaper compared to the super convenience shops’.

“If I bought the condoms in the super convenient shops, I might bump into someone I know”, the third year student from the medical management majors of Mingchuan University, Fang stated, that his school didn’t have the condom vending machines, if it did, it would be very convenient, because the super convenient stores inside the campus also didn’t sell condoms, that a lot of the students would feel inconvenience by this.

And so, on the one hand, having these condom vending machines would be safer, because at least, when you DO have sex with someone, you would have the protection that you needed, but, on the other hand, this may sound like the schools are advocating their students to have sex, so, it’s still debatable, whether or not to set up more condom vending machines on the university campuses or not.
