Yeah, this is another one of those observances at which I could indulge my endless love for poking fun …
HOWEVER, the sad fact is unprotected sex can kill both your life — and your economy.
The Centers for Disease Control place US expenditures at up to $20 billion each year treating sexually transmitted infections. Of course, this doesn’t factor in STD-induced sick days: Each case of syphilis costs an estimated $112 in lost productivity.
The conventional wisdom of health groups indicates a simple way to save your health and that money — the condom.
Our little or large (whichever fits) latex friend is up to 95% effective at stopping HIV and minimizes the risk of STDs such as gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Bottom line, regardless of your gender if you engage in sexual intercourse with multiple partners the condom is your friend.
