[Margaret Pilkington]

G, when it comes to things such as this, folk have very short memories.......I am sure that many folk don't remember getting the safe(though I prefer the term 'safer')sex leaflets.....and just because you pop a leaflet through someones letterbox, it does not mean they would read it.

Many of those who received the info would probably have thought 'I'm married, it doesn't apply to me'.....then a few years down the line when that same person was divorced...and maybe out on the razz...do you really think the first thing that would go through their mind, would be the leaflet that popped through their door all those years ago........NO, Neither do I.

People need to be reminded....and reminded often......through messages that cannot be ignored, and do not rely on them to do anything much in the way of reading(although I did like the information about STD/STI's on the back of toilet doors....thought they were very useful).......as I say many people do not see the problem as being a problem because they think they aren't 'at risk'.
