4. Too drunk to care
After a night of drowning vodka shots, most men will not remember to wear a C0N'D0M, leave alone the name of their chips funga.
" Last week, I meet this hot girl in the club. I was so high and when I got home, I couldn't even remember where I hid my packet of C0N'D0MS. We had unprotected S3'X and I woke up cursing in the morning. I was shocked since I consider myself very careful," Mark Kamaua told The Nairobian.
In 2011, Canadian researchers looked at 12 studies that examined the link between people's blood alcohol content (BAC) and they likelihood of using C0N'D0MS during S3'X. The researchers split the participants into two groups, and asked one group consume alcohol, while the other group did not drink.
Findings from the research according to Jürgen Rehm, the director of the Social and Epidemiological Research at Canada's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, revealed that "Alcohol influenced their decision processes." Participants who took alcohol were more likely to have unprotected S3'X than the sober ones.
5. A baby is unity, right?
Most women confessed to engaging in unprotected S3'X to 'trap' a man with a baby.
When the biological clock is ticking and there is no man in the horizon, then, most women will try their luck with any man that comes their way. "
I had just turned 34 and I had just broken up with my man. I was desperate for a baby. I had too much pressure from my parents and friends. The next man that I met, I sweet- talked him not to use C0N'D0MS. That is how I got pregnant," says Ann.
6. No blood samples, quick visual HIV test will do
Despite the many HIV trainings that most Nairobians attend most couples still believe they can 'visually' detect someone who is HIV positive or not.
"My former boss, as educated as he was, believed that he could tell whether it was safe to have S3'X with a lady without a C0N'D0M. He used to say that a good woman is like a piece of meat at the butchery, you can tell from just a glance," Enock Wandera, a journalist told The Nairobian.
