"The Food and Drug Administration has said in a report that latex condoms are “highly effective” at preventing infection by chlamydia, trichomoniasis, H.I.V., gonorrhea and hepatitis B.
The agency noted that condoms seemed less effective against genital herpes and syphilis. Protection against human papillomavirus “is partial at best,” the report said."

One side speaks for abstinence and teenagers have sex unprotected because they're aren't prepared or educated enough about it. The other side says use protection (ie condoms) and they have sex with or without the condoms anyway. In Europe, sex is everywhere and they don't seem to have the same magnitude of these kinds of problems we have here with this issue. What are we doing wrong and what can we do right?
