Secondly , w e m u s t get past the
my th that the d i s t r ibu t ion or p ro-
m o t i o n o f c o n t r a c e p t i v e s i n -
c reases sexual act ivi ty instead of
safety. A b s t i n e n c e is not a real i ty
for eve ryone , a fac t that m a k e s dis-
e a s e p r e v e n t i o n q u i t e n e c e s s a r y .
T h e p romot ion a n d dis t r ibut ion of
