VIETNAM
Survey says young start sex at 20, reject gays

The first national survey on Vietnam's youth finds Vietnamese start having sex relatively late, reject gays but know about AIDS.

The average age of the first sexual encounter in Vietnam is 19.6, and only 60 percent of Vietnamese youth know about homosexuality, said the study, released Friday.

Four out of five Vietnamese who know about homosexuality said they would not accept a gay person as a friend, according to the survey of 7,584 people between the ages of 14 and 25.

Ninety-seven percent said they had heard of HIV/AIDS, and the same number agreed that condoms could prevent HIV if properly used.

However, 70 percent said condoms reduced pleasure.
