While the Health Sector of our country promotes the importance of using condoms during sex to prevent HIV / AIDS and the Ministry of Health in Ithacan takes actions to distribute condoms and educate health sector operating tables and support to civil society organizations to promote actions for the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections, Sties, HIV and AIDS and discrimination, stigma and homophobia, Deputy Paz Gutierrez Corrine Fraction PAN legislators, promotes changes to the General Health Law, which violate the sexual freedom of the people, arguing that fidelity are the best ways to stop STI thus discrediting the use of condoms as a preventive measure, scientifically proven .
