Yep thats the reason there. And even when they find out the facts many refuse to believe them and just go about doing what they were doing. I remember a special about HIV in africa that was shown not all that long ago on PBS, and they mentioned that there were many people there who thought that if you had sex with a virgin that you would be cured of HIV.... and the younger the virgin the better your chances of being cured.. people were having sex with INFANTS.
