衛生部：泰國青少年性病激增，有一部分要怪大保險套

Big condoms partly to blame for Thai teen STI spike: ministry
　　Thai health officials Thursday said teenagers who are too embarrassed to choose condoms that fit are partly to blame for a recent spike in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among their peers.
　　泰國衛生部官員周四說，最近泰國青少年性病激增，部分要怪青少年太不好意思挑選合用的保險套。
　　In a statement ahead of Valentine’s Day， the kingdom’s Ministry of Public Health warned that STIs among 10-19 year olds had increased almost five times in the last ten years.
　　泰國公共衛生部在情人節前發佈聲明警告，過去10年間，10歲至19歲族群性病增加近5倍。
　　"It is due to the fact that only 43 percent (of teenagers) use condoms -- and also because they choose condoms that are too big for their actual sizes and they are afraid they will be mocked for being too small，" the statement said.
　　聲明說：「這是因為隻有43％（青少年）使用保險套，也因為他們選擇的保險套，比他們實際尺寸大太多，他們怕太小會被笑。」
　　The ministry added it planned to spend 47 million baht ($1.4 million) this year to distribute more than 43 million condoms to people across the country.
　　衛生部還說，今年打算耗資4700萬泰銖（約140萬美元），分發逾4300萬個保險套給全國各地的民?。
