Pregnancy, Infection and HIV/AIDS..

I know it has been a long time since i checked in, but i have been away on training, and no access to internet service. My experiences have showed me, that young people have an urgent need for information as regards to conception, pregnancy, and contraception. To this end, I will try to link pregnancy and HIV/AIDS and how it affects young people.
We all know that sexual intercourse is the major means through which the virus is spread. The risks involved in pre-marital or unprotected sexual intercourse is two-pronged: the risk of infection and unwanted pregnancy. Protection is the most important aspect of healthy sexual relationships, because it ensures that adequate care is taken that pregnancy does not occur and the infections are kept at bay. Condoms are the best. protection in this instance because they prevent both pregnancy and infections. Pregnancy can be kept at bay by closely monitoring ovulation and fertility with the aid of a simple calendar, charts or the now popular ovulation calendar. This calendar is personalized so that each woman has a modern and stress free method of knowing when she is fertile or not. As for infections, protection(condom) is the best way to safeguard one's self.
When pregnancy occurs in a positive person, the risks are greater, because, the chances of passing the virus to the unborn child is exceedingly high (Mother-to-Child-Transmission). For this transmission to be avoided, specialized care has to be provided for the mother to be. All these could be avoided simply by protecting ourselves and learning to know and listen to our bodies.
