I was very impressed with the guest speaker that gave our class the presentation last week. It was informative and necessary for college students to be given the information that was provided. I live in a large suburban city outside of Detroit and all of the information provided by her was information that I already had. I was flabbergasted that so many people in our class were embarrassed or afraid to speak and a few people even stuttered when saying the words "penis" or "erection". These are natural things that occur in life and I think it's a shame that some individuals are ashamed to say certain words.

In another one of my classes the issue of Aids and HIV was brought up and one girl made a comment that almost made me cry because she was so ignorant.

Obviously the U.P. isn't immune to anything, just as is the rest of the country. Like it was explained in class, STD's can be transmitted through body fluids. Everyone has body fluids, so the best thing is for you to protect yourself.
