Sunday. with her for the first time was under the false assumption that had he used a condom he would not have contracted this virus. Condoms are ineffective in preventing the transmission of genital warts or herpes. They are transmitted by intimate skin-to-skin contact in areas that the condom does not cover. These viruses also shed beyond the "protected" area.

Transmission of genital warts can also occur through secondary contact, such as fondling, foreplay and petting. The 12 percent failure rate of condoms in the prevention of pregnancy alone argues against their use for preventing an incurable or fatal disease. People must understand the ineffectiveness of condoms. The only safe sex is a mature, mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. If people choose otherwise, they should be aware of the risks involved.

SALLY BEACH, R.N. LAKE WORTH, FLA. DEAR SALLY BEACH: Although it may be tempting to proceed in the heat of passion, it's wiser to wait until after a period of cool reflection before consummating a sexual relationship. DEAR ABBY: Before my husband and I were married, he showered me with gifts large and small. After we married, it became my duty to send the cards and buy the gifts for family and friends.

My birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas would go by with no gift or card. I would suffer in silence, getting more and more depressed as the time went by. Finally, after several years of this, I decided not to allow my feelings to be hurt any longer. Two weeks before the big day, I would remind him, "My birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I'd really like that dress we saw or those beautiful earrings. Why don't we go out for dinner at (blank)?" It worked! I was happy and he was beaming with all the praise.

MRS. D. IN FLORIDA DEAR MRS. That's an excellent, nonconfrontational solution to a very common problem. Thanks for sharing it.

Write to Abby at P.O. 69440, Los Angeles, 90069. ADDY VAN BUREN STD virus can cause cervical cancer DEAR ABBY: I was interested to read the letter about genital warts from "Keeping My Pants On in Florida." As a gynecologist, I agree that prevention of sexually transmitted disease is the best solution to this medical problem. The same sexually transmitted virus that causes genital warts (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. The more sexual partners you have had, or the more partners your partner has had, the greater your risk of coming into contact with this virus.

Another important risk is the age at which a person becomes sexually active, since during adolescence the cells of the cervix are more susceptible to this infection. Therefore, intercourse at an early age increases the risk of getting cervical precancer and cancer. HPV is often detectable during a regular gynecologic examination. A routine Pap smear is a fairly effective way to find this virus on the cervix, long before it has caused cervical cancer. Treatment for both genital warts and abnormal Pap smears can be performed in the doctor's office with minimal discomfort.

Hysterectomy is rarely necessary. And the development of cervical cancer and death is avoidable if women will simply have yearly examinations and Pap smears. WILLIAM H. PARKER, M.D. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.

DEAR DR. PARKER: Since many people suffer from genital warts, I'm sure it will be appreciated. You are not the only medical professional who wrote to comment about the letter.

The bidding was simple. Once North confirmed a heart fit and Blackwood elicited the fact that one ace was missing, South settled in what was expected to be a laydown slam.

West found the excellent, mildly deceptive lead of the deuce of clubs. Expecting to concede only a trick to the ace of hearts, declarer wasted no time winning in dummy and leading a trump to the king and ace. Back came another club, ruffed by East for the setting trick. A touch of pessimism on declarer's part would have saved the day. The only threat to the contract came from a club ruff, and declarer could have taken a precaution to guard against that simply enough.

After winning the first trick in dummy, declarer should have cleared the ace of spades, cashed the ace of diamonds, then entered dummy by ruffing the low diamond with the eight, to discard a club on the king of spades. Now a heart to the king and ace leaves declarer in command. The only trick for the defenders Is the ace of trumps. Subscribe to the Goren Bridge Letter by calling (800) 788-1225.
