Actually, Uganda adopted the "ABC" campaign -

Abstain, but if you can't,
Be faithful, and/or use
Condoms.

This is a much more comprehensive sex education/disease prevention message than most politicians in the U.S. are touting, focusing only on the abstinence message. The realities are much more complex, and it is likely that a change in a number of behaviors - including delayed sexual activity (not abstinence per se), increased fidelty, AND increased condom usage are behind Uganda's success. It's reductionistic and dishonest to focus only on abstinence and monogamy.
