THE Mallee has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates across the state and country, with less than one in five young people using condoms every time they have sex, a new report has revealed.

The Sexy and Safe: Let's Talk About It report was launched by the Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic) in partnership with Women's Health Loddon Mallee and the Centre of Excellence in Rural Sexual Health (CERSH) to get on top of sex education.
