Uh, hello? Are you on something we should know about?
Yes Sparky, I have 4 kids that I worry about, all are adult and I have no idea what any of them are up to.
What am I to tell them, at their age my generation had a shot of Penicillin to take care of most indiscretions.
Very few parents my age go looking for medical advice on Herpes, Clap or Syphilis's. or speak to their kids on the problem, they leave it to the schools sex-ed classes.
I am so far behind the Herpes and Aids it is ridiculous.
You have to realise that my generation had few if any STD's to worry about---Getting pregnant was the worse of the worse for us.
I did not go to nursing school until I was 30 + = WHAT A SHOCK, rotation took me to public health in Norfork VA.
Early 1980's and Aids had just reared its ugly head.
The medical world went into a crazed time. No one knew really how Aids spread at the time and some poor gay kid hit by a car was treated by doctors and nurses wearing bio-hazd suits.
We nurses in training had a problem with everyone. when we questioned our teachers about the children who had Aids they became crazed saying the children had been molested .
Years later a coworker came to me telling me they had contacted Herpies.This is a disease old as the hills but I had to research it...
Listen up here Sparky, you can date for a year and be married 3 years to a woman with that disease, One day that demon will arise and change your life forever.
