Good job I'm not likely to sleep with a student again...
Many students are "completely clueless" about condoms and birth control, according to a poll released yesterday.
More than one in 10 cannot put a condom on properly and 16% believe two condoms are safer than one. More than a third of students believe condoms have holes in them big enough for HIV to get through.
Yep that'd be Cardinal Trujillo
The Aids virus is roughly 450 times smaller than the spermatozoon. The spermatozoon can easily pass through the 'net' that is formed by the condom

Pro Net, indeed. I hope he feels happy about the joy he's spread throughout the world as a consequence of that statement.
Juzzzy
Pro It's the word "likely" that's worrying.
rowtheboat
Pro Well, we can't rule out mature students now, can we?
Darn, spotted!

Always remember "Harry Potter" in Xtras!
His condom came to rest on Dame Diana Riggs forehead
rowtheboat
Pro Not seen that one. Hope the HIV didn't get through?
sapped
Can I have my johnny back, Dame Diana?
rithompson
So what do they do with the condoms the Students Union gives out!? 
rowtheboat
Pro Put them on their heads?
Put them on Ebay?
Further guesses welcomed

Did you hear the part where 1 in 10 believe condoms can be washed and re-used? *throws up*
rowtheboat
Pro Truly vile.
* shoulders sag in defeat *
They can't ??
rowtheboat
Pro They do the same with loo roll too.
Ok, maybe not...
No, you have to turn them inside out if you want to use them again.

I'm loving angels instead.
Oh how funny I'm not.
rowtheboat
Pro I have made the fatal mistake of putting that song in my head for the rest of the day...
argh...I've got it in my head now... argh.
No comment on the rest of it!
rowtheboat
Pro Soz

It's like when the aid workers were showing some people how to put a condon on, they demonstrated by rolling one down onto their thumb. So all these peope went of and had sex...with condoms on their thumbs...
rowtheboat
Pro You mean... that's not how you do it??
Errrr.....
bloglikesit
Not any more, current guidelines are such that you wear them on your big toe.
rowtheboat
Pro That's me scuppered, then. I've never been into foot fetishes.

In all seriousness, did they do a survey of kids in special schools?
What do they mean by "students"? Uni students? Cos I can't //believe// it.
rowtheboat
Pro I can. But that's because I've worked with students.
And been one.

I just looked it up on the Guardian site, and it is indeed uni students, the survey was done by THT and NUS. Scary.
rowtheboat
Pro Perhaps they should incorporate a demonstration into freshers fairs. I'm sure a whole heap of related topics could be...erm... explored...
bloglikesit
You should //do// that. Would be a great success, I'm sure.
rowtheboat
Pro Hm, well, I am rather skint...
No!
ajnspencer
Pro Nothing surprises me since I was helping a uni-going friend with her washing and heard the following.
"Oh for god's sake, I put it in all nice and folded and it's come out like THIS!"
Although the group of four teen boys all in a complete and utter daze over how to use a washing machine was a little funny...
rowtheboat
Pro Actually, I remember in my first year one of the guys I was living with trying to make fried rice... without having boiled it first...
Burnt maggots.

I recall seeing a programme a while ago about a condom drop in Africa somewhere - they fly overhead and drop the condoms over villages. They had actually stappled the condoms to the instruction leaflets.....! Leaving holes in them - perhaps some of those have found their way into the student union packs
rowtheboat
Pro And I thought the above article showed how clueless people can be - Jesus!
Always wear your rubber boots when you are playing in the rain...protect your self and let's hope the kiddies do as well.
I work with all sorts of people and am completely amazed at the young girls and boys having unprotected sex resulting in STD's and unplanned pregnancies. Quite scary actually.
Do these same students also believe that if you flush a condom and it floats, it means your girlfriend is a witch?
I hate that song.

Didn't the catholic church put out that sorta propaganda about holes in condoms/HIV? I vaguely remember an article about it where it was the main reason for HIV being so widespread in Africa.
