Safe Sex and White Lies in the Time of AIDS

Meghan Daum wasn't really taught about the disease AIDS when she was in school. She believes that her generation's education is "a corrosion of the soul, a chronic dishonesty and will do more damage than the disease itself". People not knowing the correct information about the disease makes the risks of getting it increase. In school Daum was taught not to drink or ever have sex. She was taught that getting pregnant was the worst thing to ever happen to someone. Students weren't fully informed about the disease so that causes more damage to them than the disease would. They don't have the information to avoid getting the disease.
