There's an easy way to avoid being laid low by this super-bug or any like it. Live a truly Catholic life: chastity before marriage and fidelity after. Purity saves a person from a multitude of tragedies including low self-esteem, fear of pregnancy, serial heartbreak from one temporary "lover" after another, etc.
Gals, let the men in your life be your dad and your brothers until you meet your husband. Guys, let the women in your life be your mom and your sisters until you meet your wife. Consider the courtship movement. I haven't read it yet, but Jason Evert's book, If You Really Loved Me, got rave reviews on Amazon. I plan to read it and share it with my older grandchildren. It may not save them from making tragic mistakes, but hopefully will give them reasons to do things God's way instead of man's. Since He's the author of the owner's manual, His way is best.After all, if you put sugar in a gas tank and honey where the oil goes, your car may smell sweet, but it won't get you very far. The same with sex and pleasure. It may feel good at the time, but it can really mess things up and endanger true happiness in marriage. Be smart; be pure! Ask Our Lady, the model of purity, to help you do things God's way!
