00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
<v ->For the general public need to get more educated,</v>

2
00:00:07.039 --> 00:00:12.039
need to take this disease a lot more serious

3
00:00:12.190 --> 00:00:17.190
than we have, we need to allow prevention

4
00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:23.090
educators to educate the young people.

5
00:00:23.090 --> 00:00:27.970
Which means in schools or where ever because I think

6
00:00:27.970 --> 00:00:32.970
that is the major problem now is public education.

7
00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:39.090
And as long as we don't have access to public schools

8
00:00:41.260 --> 00:00:46.220
and things like that this disease is gonna really,

9
00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:49.640
really impact the young people until we get it right.

10
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.214
Because what I learned as a educator and being with youth

11
00:00:54.214 --> 00:00:58.830
is that they get their information from each other

12
00:00:59.860 --> 00:01:02.620
and it's the wrong information.

13
00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:07.020
And I understand that because I grew up with the information

14
00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:09.510
from the street and my mother and my grandmother

15
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:12.415
were nurses and nobody had the conversation with me

16
00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:17.415
about STD's or anything and I ended up with a STD

17
00:01:19.032 --> 00:01:24.032
and my mother assumed that I knew about using back

18
00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:30.600
then in the '60's were prophylactic that I knew about that.

19
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.663
Well who would I had the conversation with,

20
00:01:35.660 --> 00:01:39.710
who told me, you're a nurse, we never had that conversation.

21
00:01:39.710 --> 00:01:42.240
I got a STD you were mad at me 'cause you had to pay

22
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:44.790
the bill but you assumed that I knew.

23
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:49.360
Nobody told me about unprotected sex and getting

24
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:52.640
gonorrhea, I was 14 years old,

25
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.573
nobody told me I could get that.

26
00:01:56.950 --> 00:02:01.950
And here it is in 2006 and there's a lot of parents

27
00:02:02.132 --> 00:02:06.600
who haven't had that conversation with their teenagers

28
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:10.238
because they assume that with all the information

29
00:02:10.238 --> 00:02:15.238
on TV and all this that they know and they don't.
