One of the most awkward moments a parent can have with their children is the dreaded talk about sex. Given that it's expected that parents should be the ones to educate their kids about safe sex, STDs, HIV and AIDS, and pregnancy, there's really no way you can avoid broaching this topic.
This responsibility is especially pressing today, what with the alarming rate of teens and young adults, from ages 12 to 21, who are becoming sexually active. Another scary fact is that these people have no or little information about sexually transmitted illnesses or protecting themselves from an infection especially against HIV.
Below are a few things that parents need to know when talking to their kids about HIV.
Quick Facts
The Human immunodeficiency virus, more commonly known as HIV, is what causes AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This causes the person's body to lose ability to protect itself and fight of diseases and germs. It's not the virus itself that causes death, but it's the lack on anti-bodies and a weak immune system. While there are a number of treatment plans available for people who have AIDS, there still is no cure developed. AIDS develops years after the person became infected, so he or she can't really feel the effects just yet.
You can't Get Infected with HIV through Skin Contact
Being in the same room with an infected person, the illness is not air born or transferred through skin to skin contact. Hugging, holding hands, and kissing also does not cause infections. Using the public toilet is fine, but there are other STDs and STIs that can be transferred through this, such as crabs. Donating blood also does not spread the virus, but the needle used to get the blood needs to be clean.
Mode of Transmission
The virus is actually transmitted though exchanging blood, vaginal fluids, semen and even breast milk from an infected person. Not having safe sex, no matter if its oral, anal or vaginal, can lead to an infection. Sharing needles with someone who is infected with the virus, whether the needle was used for drugs, piercings or tattoos. Blood to blood transfer such as receiving blood form an infected person or a mother to child infection.
Parents need to inform and educate their kids about the risk of getting infected with HIV and developing AIDS after. It's your roll to keep your porn child safe and answer any questions they have about sexual heath.
