About 95 percent of Indian males believe that condoms can be effective against the spread of diseases, and 70 percent of Indian women know where to get condoms, according to a new UN report. (DNAindia.com, 10/25)
The report follows three years of awareness campaigns sponsored by UNAIDS and the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in six of India’s high-prevalence districts: Aizwal, Bellary, Guntur, Kanpur, Udaipur and Kishanganj.
The results showed that the percentage of men who believed that condoms could prevent disease was only around 65 percent before the campaigns. Also, during the three years, the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases across the districts decreased.
"I am psychologically suffering from body wasting, mainly hips, face, legs and arms. Does anyone know where I can order something (maybe underwear with foam) to fill the sunken hips, so that pants can start looking normal? I feel pathetic when I look at myself in the mirror in jeans—jeans used to fill up so nicely, now they just hang!"
