Thirdly, reuse of hypodermic needles following inadequate sterilisation can transmit HIV in some countries&#8217; medical establishments.\u00a0 Chastity before marriage, faithfulness in marriage and good medical practice, which may need better funding, are much more effective than condoms in stopping HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legalising homosexual acts will increase gay tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Legalising sodomy would only make matters worse, and will also lead to more of the horrors of gay tourism which already corrupt children in parts of Africa, the Caribbean and Asia.\u00a0 Despite what Mr Lake and other &#8216;health&#8217;
