Hold on a second.
Am I the only one who sees value in trying to ram it through the skulls of people from third-world countries that they need to be more careful about sexual encounters? How many people in some of the hardest hit countries in Africa do you honestly think are carrying around condems right now? The answer is next to none. Women are most afraid of the virus, but the distribution of female condoms has all but halted after it was found they are
more fearful using them for cultural reasons. Third-world males have always been found not to use condoms, some reporting that their manhood is challenged by using them.
I don't approve of the method. But halting the spread of the AIDS epidemic in third world countries will require more then just pushing condems at people - they dont use them! Instead, health organizations need to get people to understand how quickly the virus spreads, that you don't need symptoms to be a carrier, - in short, quit fucking so much or you are rolling the dice just like Siegfried's buddy and that bear-lover in Alaska.
Again, I don't approve of the method. But if people at risk won't use condoms another approach is needed - even if it is abstinence or "fear of God".
