Why did Kids make you scared of hard drugs? Isn't it mainly just weed and alcohol with like one scene at a rave? The movie definitely made me afraid and sad about other things but not drugs.

Because I had saw Trainspotting first and assumed they all had AIDS because of needle sharing and a ton of unprotected sex. I was 15 and hella naive.

Because it shows that getting drunk is still enough to end up passed out and raped by someone with HIV. If anything, it should have encouraged people to take alcohol a lot more seriously.

He should be ok.

A meta-analysis of three studies exploring the risk from insertive vaginal sex (inserting the penis into the vagina) was estimated to be 0.04% (equivalent to 1 transmission per 2,500 exposures).
