An experiment of "peer education" on sex among students of Hangzhou Normal College has been a success, according to the Hangzhou-based Youth Times.
Students said listening to their peers is more comfortable than "teachers' preaching."
The knowledge gained is also more reliable than "searching the Internet, or getting vague ideas from novels", because all the information is passed on from doctors.
The program also encourages students to discuss problems occurring in daily life, through a sketch for example, such as how a female student can respond to her boyfriend's sexual desire.
Although the student trainers did encounter a few embarrassing situations, most continued their work and 93 percent of participants said they were satisfied with this kind of sex education.
The national campaign to control the spread of AIDS could also draw on the peer program. One of the keywords of this year's World AIDS Day in China was exposure.
As the central government is now determined to control the spread of the disease, AIDS-related public service advertisements, including condom advertisements, once taboo, now enjoy high media exposure as an effort to promote knowledge of AIDS prevention.
But how to effectively let the target audience know what they should know is still a big task.
Although peer-education programs of AIDS prevention have been launched in some of the most developed cities, more should be done to accelerate progress, especially in high-risk groups such as prostitutes.
