Let's face it. Sex is a fact of life. But today, more and more sexual liberation and tolerance have led to unconventional practices and encouraged sexual orientation that were once considered taboo to be accepted by a large number of people. Without a judgement for people who prefer sexual experience in their affairs, this liberal attitude and behaviour could lead to serious consequences if the parameters to a pleasant and safe sexual activities are not observed and respected. The same with the general public who did not sound understanding and appreciation of sexual health issues and standards which could lead to neglect of their sexual partners.

Each sexual encounter should be coupled with a responsible attitude. The lack thereof may lead to unwanted pregnancies that lead to May emotional and psychological complications, not only for parents but also children. Unprotected sex also describes sexual partners at high risk of contracting chronic sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Such cases can be diagnosed through medical testing. However, there is no broad program that requires routine check-up. In addition, there appears to be a lack of public awareness compounded by social stigma regarding sexually transmitted diseases, which prevents people discuss their choices with health professionals.
