Prevention of HIV using a condom

Each year, on 1 December is celebrated as a day of HIV / AIDS as the world. In Indonesia, this moment was a special sensitivity for some of the Muslims. Moreover, every year, the campaign HIV / AIDS is usually coupled with free distribution of condoms. This was interpreted as the behavior penghalalan free sex, or sex outside of marriage.

According to the bearers the rejection of condoms, AIDS prevention solution is not to use condoms, but more to fix the community mental not to free sex. As quoted from the site eramuslim:

"Forum Silaturrahim Da'wah Institute Campus, also rejected the ways of sex free pelegalan wrapped in anti-AIDS campaign. Because, socially kondomisasi efforts that will lead to the practice of adultery and prostitution are massive.

Therefore, the current FSLDK consistently held to eradicate the spread of AIDS with morality in the process of awareness among students and youth, through programs of mentoring, coaching Islamic morality in more than 100 campuses in Indonesia. "

In fact, the rate of disease spread of AIDS in Indonesia is so bad. Department of Health statistics show, the number of AIDS cases per year since 2001 to 2006 has increased more than 10 times. Even in 2006, found no less than 2800 cases, which means: in Indonesia every 3 hours with AIDS increased 1 person.

The author agrees, the eradication Free Sex by nurturing morality, can suppress the spread of AIDS disease. But of course we knowingly, it is not easy to do, at least, not be a solution in the short term. Moreover, the behavior of AIDS victims free sex, most are people who do not teredukasi, and isolated from knowledge about health. Mental and spiritual improvement is necessary, especially for long-term investment, or long-term investment.

Scientific research shows that using condom can directly reduce the risk of contracting AIDS through sexual contact up to 80%. For that reason, condom pengedukasian campaign also needs to be done. To quote Mr. Jusuf Kalla said: For a free sex, please use a condom. Condoms do not reduce the sin, but with it, at least you are not infectious to others.

In conclusion, do not have opposed the condom campaign with mental, spiritual guidance to stay away from free sex. Both are equally important, and both are equally supportive. Which one do short-term prevention, which one do long-term improvement.
