This is a product of two things:
1) Abstinence only sex education promoted by Mormon church. With no knowledge people make uninformed decisions.
2) Religious guilt. People don't carry condoms because they feel guilt if they are "prepared" for sex.
Religion poisons everything.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
