HIV and Sex

Recently the newspapers featured an article on an 18 year old girl who became HIV positive because her boyfriend had secretly visited prostitutes before he was dating her. She was quoted as the country's youngest citizen to be HIV positive so far. I find this a very sad fact. It's totally unfair for her that her life has to be wasted at such a young age because she can no longer hope to ever have kids or seek a life time partner in the future.

Our Asian culture is fast changing. Sex is now viewed by our younger folks very differently from the older generation. What do you think could be the reason for this change?:

1) The Media with ready information like the internet, movies and novels?

2) Curiousity?

3) Peer Pressure?

4) They feel its their body and they can do what they like with it?

5) Inferiority Complex?

6) They have matured at an earlier age?

7) The type of food and nutrition they have?
