Condom manufacturer Durex's recently released international survey of AIDS awareness found that while most people are cognizant of the dangers of HIV and AIDS, about half have failed to change
their sexual behavior. The poll revealed that the French and Mexicans are most concerned about possible infection, and that younger persons are more likely than people their parents' age to change their behaviors.
The survey-- which encompassed almost 10,000 sexually active people between the ages of 16 and 45 in 14 countries-- showed that in the United States, 96 percent of respondents were aware of HIV and
AIDS and 65 percent were worried about becoming infected, but 44 percent still had not changed their behavior to protect themselves. Furthermore, the survey revealed that only 13 percent of Americans use a condom every
time they have sex. The French topped the list with 26 percent reporting consistent condom use.
