Was this really what "just say no" abstinence types had in mind? It doesn't shock me that advocates of these policies would often deny young people health information that they need, or that they are failing to really lower the amount of sexual interation by all that much - but the degree to which they seem to encourage risky sex practices is quite striking. Whether we're talking about "four times more likely" or "six times more likely" those are remarkably high numbers.
