Letter: Wise up, William, wear a condom

WITH HIS call for unprotected sex ('Not risky behaviour - just a bit of harmless promiscuity', 5 July), William Leith finally comes out as the reactionary one has long suspected he really is.

His views are based on the type of view long peddled by certain elements of the popular press: that only gays and misfits can get Aids.

Unfortunately for Mr Leith, in most places Aids is a predominantly heterosexual disease, and will become so in this country, too, unless Mr Leith and those like him take the simple precaution of wearing a condom.
