Summary: A.I.D.S. On Campus? (Press, 18 July 1989)
Dr Tree Cocks, a health doctor at Otago University, has expressed concern that it is only a matter of time before the university reports its first case of A.I.D.S. She highlighted that many primary health-care physicians share this belief. The Otago University Student Health Centre is currently witnessing a consistent number of sexually transmitted diseases among students, alongside an ongoing distribution of morning-after pills. This trend suggests that students are not engaging in safe sex practices. Despite awareness of the risks associated with unprotected sex, including the potential for A.I.D.S., students continue to participate in such behaviour. Dr Cocks noted the challenge of making condom use appealing to young people, stating, “It’s very difficult to make condoms cool.”
