Adopting the format of a movie trailer, Kronoberg County's "The Test" video features a host of animated sex organs and a Hollywood-style voice-over. The narrator sets the scene by ominously informing the viewer:

"It all started as the perfect love story, a time of lust and trust, where each night is an adventure... but danger lurks between the sheets."

The County's head of public health and social development told The Local they were all thrilled when the advertising company that produced the video showed them it for the first time.

"We all thought it was really great and fun, but also informative and different. It's exciting, we really liked it," Annika Magnerot said.

The video can be found on Youtube.

    No. As much as I would like all these "refugees" to fuck off and go home or be deported they are not to blame for the spread of Chlamydia or other STD:s. Not more then other people. That happened before them and will happen after them to. This kind of information campaigns have been going on for decades. It's nothing new. The only thing "new" here is how these things spread like STD:s online and other people or parts of the world get to see them. Previously each and every country was like their own little bubble and things outside of it just didn't matter all that much. Now everything is apparently news worthy and amusing for someone somewhere.

    Having animated genitalia even made it into some kids show just a year or so ago. There was even a catchy little song or something like that. I guess that is how "progressive" we are -- cocks and cunts for the children!

    It just doesn't have anything, or very little, to do with the "refugees". We can blame them for a lot of things but this quite probably isn't one of them. That is unless you have some kind of stats that say that refugees are far more likely to have STD and spread it around then some other average or normal citizen. Which I seriously doubt that you have or that they even exists.

    Are you serious?

    First of all, they aren't "refugees". They're illegal aliens. Please use the proper terminology.

    Also keep in mind that most of these illegal aliens in Sweden aren't from Syria. They're from Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Look at what countries have the highest prevalence of AIDS and HIV. [wikipedia.org] Look at Africa in particular. As that Wikipedia article clearly states, "about 5% of the adult population" in Sub-Saharan Africa is infected with AIDS/HIV. It's 10% or more in some areas, with certain areas of South Africa having over 20% of the population that's infected!

    What was Sweden's infection rate, as of 2014? 0.18%! There's a huge difference between 0.18% and even a conservative 5%.

    Don't forget that those are just the stats for HIV/AIDS, which is rather deadly, and is somewhat more difficult to contract that many other STDs.

    It varies depending on the type of STD in question, but we're likely looking at far more significant rates of infection in these illegal aliens of less-deadly diseases that are far more communicable.

    And never forget that somebody can have multiple STDs. If they have HIV/AIDS there's a very good chance that they have one or more other STDs, as well.

    You're pathetically naive if you really believe that people coming from areas where they don't use sexual protection of any form, and where sanitation basically doesn't exist, aren't infected with all sorts of disease.

      They are not 'illegal aliens', they or most of them did not sneak into the country. They came here and applied for asylum, that is the complete opposite of being an illegal. They are making themselves known and apply for protection aka asylum. One can question the validity of their asylum claim but they are still not illegal aliens. A lot of them might lie about the reasons for asylum, some of them claim asylum for causes that are not asylum worthy. Which if anything would make them potential economical migrants and not actual asylum seekers. But they are still not illegal aliens. There is a big difference between the two. Are you perhaps talking about or referring to the "street children" running about Stockholm? They are usually from Morocco. Which is not a sub-Saharan country. So if anyone here is failing to use proper terminology it is you.

      That said one can't even really answer the claim of where the illegal aliens are coming from since that wasn't even the topic of debate. But most of the asylum seekers or refugees are not from sub-Saharan Africa. They are from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea, "stateless" (usually Palestinians) , Iran, Turkey, Georgia, Somalia, Albania, Morocco, Ukraine, Mongolia, Russia, Nigeria and other. Even if "other" was all sub-Saharan Africa people, they are not, they still wouldn't outnumber people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan etc. So you are just flat out wrong.

      Secondly we are talking about Chlamydia and not HIV/AIDS. So the various infection rates of AIDS in Africa means more or less nothing. It's not that I doubt the numbers but you can't be certain that it's even those people that make it to Europe and Sweden. The number of infection cases of HIV/AIDS in Sweden have been constant for over a decade, long before the current refugee crisis. But for all I care all of Africa could have AIDS, it just doesn't matter to the topic at hand. Chlamydia increased rapidly but have been stable since about 2009 at about 36000 cases per year. The same can be said for AIDS, it has been stable. So you are just flat out wrong one every single level.

      If anything here is pathetic it's your desire to invent reasons that just are not there. I don't even like the "refugees" or asylum seekers and said that I believe that they should all be deported but I'm not so retarded that I try to invent my own statistics for it. Large amounts of them are probably here for fraudulent reasons wishing for a better life then what they had in whatever shit hole they came from, but that is not an acceptable asylum reason. But to paint them all out to be some kind of diseased rats that are infecting your pure Aryan whiteness that is just beyond bullshit.

    I hope you aren't having sex. You seem very ignorant about the risk of catching an STD.
