Hospital tells two-month-old  baby to use a condom !

A two-month-old Norwegian boy has received a letter warning him to use a condom.

The letter from a hospital in Finnmark also told Even Andreas the results of his test for a sexually transmitted disease had come back negative.

His parents say they were astonished when they receieved the letter, addressed to their son, telling the infant that he did not have chlamydia.

The mistake has been blamed on a mix-up involving staff who had previously tested even for an eye infection.

Hospital workers had apparently confused his eye test results with the results for a patient who had been tested for STDs, reports the Verdens Gang newspaper.

The baby's father, Tor Johnny Aikio said: "Statistics show that youths in Finnmark start having sex earlier than others in Norway, but I think this was a bit early."
