A report by George Lace on the sexually transmitted diseases.
Sex sells - In the media, in entertainment, in personal relationships. But the free thinking and free talking stop sharply at the sexually transmitted diseases. Why? Some of these diseases, including previously little-known ones, are showing a startling rate of increase, and, like the sex revolution, recognise no social barriers.
This programme takes a look at current medical research and practice, searches for the roots of our contemporary attitudes and prejudices, and asks: Is disease the price of sexual liberty?
