Monogamy as Protection? Think Again

"A large number of unmarried, sexually active Canadian adults aren't using condoms because they think monogamy is as reliable a form of protection, an attitude that puts them at high risk of contracting and spreading sexually transmitted infections -- many of which have no discernible symptoms. The findings emerge from an article released yesterday by the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada and Statistics Canada…The main reasons for going without protection pivot around a false sense of security, he said. 'Canadians young and old, including well-educated adult Canadians, haven't got a clue how common STIs are. They also haven't got a clue that most cases of STI have no symptoms. You don't know if you're infected and you don't know if your partner is infected.'"
