[0:03] >> and many people think that those
[0:05] diseases are no longer exist but in fact
[0:07] it's very far from the truth. Each year
[0:10] 12 million new infections occur.
[0:13] >> Members of the Association of
[0:14] Reproductive Health Professionals
[0:16] gathered Saturday in San Francisco to
[0:18] discuss the epidemic. They say some of
[0:20] the blame might actually lie with
[0:22] increased education about AIDS. The
[0:25] public has focused so much on HIV, the
[0:28] virus that causes AIDS, that it has
[0:30] forgotten about other sexually

[1:11] young people about AIDS and that they
[1:13] must tell young people that the same
[1:15] safe sex techniques aimed at AIDS, such
[1:17] as the use of condoms, can also
[1:20] significantly reduce the danger of other
[1:22] sexually transmitted diseases. And one
[1:25] final step, people need to be open and
[1:27] honest with their doctors about their
[1:28] sexual practices. In that way, doctors
[1:31] can give them accurate advice to prevent
