Wow! I hope your name doesn't describe your character. But I will answer your questions the best way I can although I still aint sure where all this leads to.
*do you think that you are at risk of contracting the Human Immunodeficiency Virus?
Of course am at risk. People don't just get infected by the virus by sexual contact. There are a number of contributing predisposing factors that lead to the spread of AIDS.
*if the answer to the above is 'yes', what are you doing to ensure that you don't contract the virus?
Don't engage in casual sex all the time and use a 'rough rider' when the urge is too much to handle.
*what is your HIV status? and if you don't know your status have you considered going, or are you willing to go, for the test?
Lemme pass that one. o.k. on second thoughts, I don't know my status. Secondly, am not willing to go for a test. Am scared to death.
*does the condom have a place in the fight against the spread of HIV?
Of course it has.
*when you see a condom, or hear mention of it, what comes to your mind....'sex' or 'safe sex'? (the gist here is to consider whether or not condoms promote promiscuity.)
Condoms do not only control the spread of HIV. They do control unwanted pregnancies and they prevent infection by other STDs. Of course SEX comes into mind. My view is, whether condoms exist or not, people will indulge in sex, I being one of them.
*how effective is abstaining from sex a weapon for fighting HIV? and for how long should one abstain?
Abstaining from sex as far as I know is the best way to fight HIV scourge. But we live in a crazy world. I wish I could abstain, but too bad it aint within my power.
*would you recommend condom use to your friend, brother, sister?
Hell yeah
*Does God's plan to mankind limit human beings' creativity and reliance on artificial methods of modifying sex?
I pass
*since you began having sex, how often have you used or considered protection?
90/100
*what is your worldview of those amongst us who have the HIV or those who are in the AIDS stage?
I pass
*do you think that AIDS is God's curse to mankind for their numerous sins?
I really don't know how God fully works to answer this question
*and finally, what is your advice to all of us in relation to HIV and AIDS?
Not to stigmatize those infected
