Bogota, Colombia (AHN) - In a plan to cut the local infection rate of AIDS, a western Colombian town is threatening males over 14 with a fine if they fail to carry a condom.
A poll revealed that young men in the community start having sex at about age 15.
Tulua town councilman William Pena tells the El Tiempo newspaper, young men in the community should carry condoms just as they have to carry identification cards.
Those failing to show a condom would have to pay a small fine or take a three-hour course in AIDS prevention in Tulua, where 14 people died of sexually transmitted diseases last year.
Father Jesus Velasquez of the local Catholic church says the measure is like "selling guns in the streets."
