Topic summary: HIV/AIDS was once a pandemic that terrified everyone and every home. Is it no longer there or is it because we don’t care? According to WHO, to date HIV/AIDS still has no cure and continues to be a major public health problem and has claimed the lives of 35 million people globally. In 2017, about 940,000 people died from HIV-related causes worldwide. Sexual rights are not only about sexual health, but also about information about sex education, respect for body integrity, consent, and compliance with law and ethics. This presentation also addresses concepts of sexual diversity ( including gender identity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation). So choosing sex with diversity is the right of each individual, but its consequences (especially when they are wrong choices) will not only affect one person but can cause trouble for many people. , affecting many aspects of life and even disrupting current and future life. Making appropriate and safe choices in sex is something we need to contemplate and it’s never too late.”
