NCB... the point isn't that abstinence shouldn't be an option it is just that it is not really all that practical. People are going to have sex...
You need to give them the whole picture so they can make a rational judgment. Let them know that there are ways to "get off" that will not lead to pregnancy and will lessen the change of transmitting disease.
Give them the whole picture and then you can clobber them over the head with abstinance teachings. At least they will be informed when making their decisions.
As for Africa... it will take a lot more than abstinence to fix that problem. But, yes abstinence is an option... just not a practical one.
