British Backpackers spreading STD's in Australia?
I read this morning that British backpackers think it is perfectly ok to not use condoms while in Australia. They also are having multiple partners. One guy claimed that women should be providing condoms because backpacking men don't think they need to be responsible in this area.
While it is everyone's responsibility to ensure they are protected, I think a tourist education program should be put in place to stop the spread of STD's.
I think it is a bit gross that they are so irresponsible and are coming over here and spreading their diseases. What do you think?

Yes,the Pommies can't help themselves,especially when you consider they have probably stopped over in places like Thailand and Greece and Africa.where there is HIV and other infections.Because people are handsome tanned and look fit and healthy means absolutely nothing,they can still be infected.
Education does not work,HIV has been on the planet now for over 30 years, and people are still getting infected, and dying.Not to mention other sexually transmitted diseases that have been around for centuries.People that sleep around with promiscuous backpackers need there head read.
