Certainly no one claims condoms don't fail. Certainly no one denies that abstinence cannot fail.

Of course condoms can fail. But a 10% chance of getting AIDS or risking pregnancy and baby born with AIDS is better than a 100% chance. Here in the US, where AIDS isn't as huge of a problem, go ahead and promote abstinence. That's fine with me. Promote it in Africa too. BUT telling them flat out that a condom is *going* to fail and for them not to use one is not good.
