Fight Against AIDS Brings Sex Education to Campus
Adjust font size:
A majority of students on the campus of the People University of China said they were not annoyed when being surveyed on sex and they poised to receive brochures on related topics, Monday's China Youth Daily reported.

The state family planning publicity center started its first anti-AIDS tour in higher learning institutions last week.

Although some shy students hesitated to answer those embarrassing questions, most of their peers responded positively.

A male student said after the survey that what he knew about sex were all from TV and books. "Teachers seldom come across the issue and few of my friends would like to talk about it," he was quoted as saying.

He said he was happy to see so many people are actually concerned about AIDS and sex education. He admitted it was a good for himself and his peers. The student has got pamphlets on condom, contraception and how to avoid unhealthy sex. A lot of his schoolmates opened the pamphlets right away while some just put them in their satchels.

Bill boards containing pictures and books set up on major roads of the campus have attracted not only young students thirsty for the knowledge, but also their teachers.

A forty-year-old psychology teacher said the face-to-face publicity is good to arouse the public awareness of healthy sex as the prevailing textbooks seem lagged behind the developing situation.
