Wow, these Harvard dudes must be really, really smart!

Must have taken millions in grant money to figure this rocket science out.

What next, a discovery that men and women are somehow different?

Green says Uganda has been a success story for initiatives that stress abstinence and faithfulness in particular, largely because the churches in the country have helped to promote them. "The faith-based organizations, whether Christian or Muslim, were mobilized in countries like Uganda and Senegal and Jamaica," the researcher says, "so church leaders and religious groups played a big role in targeting those behaviors -- fidelity and abstinence."

This inconvenient fact has long been known in pro-life circles. As soon as the UN and USAID move into an African country with condoms and sex-ed, the AIDS rate skyrockets.

It's absolutely typical of these left-wing bureaucracies that they will only hire scientists willing to prove what they want them to prove. That's one reason why science can no longer be trusted--because the bureaucrats buy the answers they want to hear.

After all, the cushy jobs enjoyed by USAID employes depend on building the bureaucracy, and in this case building the bureaucracy means more and more condoms.

At Harvard this will likely get someone fired.

what if you don't have the "monogamy" gene?

[squirt-gun]

Duh!

[dynachrome]

I wonder if Lawrence Summers will weigh in on this?

I suppose these geniuses will tell us next that not sticking needles in our eyes reduces our chances of eye injury.

Now the Gay-Lesbian-Our-Feelings-Are-Hurt Alliance (GLOFAHA) is going to demand a another gay democrat be appointed to the Harvard faculty in the name of diversity.

If we had all the gov't money that funds these ridiculous studies, we would have probably cured AIDS and cancer by now.

Monogamy? Abstinence?

How Homophobic can you get? /sarcasm

[cubreporter]

Wow, this dude shoul be given a Major Award. Wow....

[festus]

What is it with these ivy league educated types. First one goes off and suggests that there is an actual difference in men and women and then this one goes off and suggest refraining from casual sex could control the spread of aids ?

Clearly these guys haven't been educated in our modern high schools yet........

[little jeremiah]

Moral Absolutes Ping.

There are many reasons why chastity before marriage and fidelity in marriage are absolutely necessary for individuals and society. It is noteworthy that this high moral standard of sexual purity and responsibility is universal in every religion. Also noteworthy is how far our culture fas fallen from that standard in just a couple of generations.

Not getting AIDS is just one of the minor reasons for the above standards. How much misery can be prevented by getting with the program instead of rebelliously going for the instant gratification?

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist. Freepmail is best.

Harvard Doc: Abstinence, Monogamy Can Help Win War on AIDS

Let examine this carefully:

AIDS is spread through risky sexual behaviors; ie the more people you sleep with, the higher your transmission risk.

AIDS is spread through blood transfusions, or other blood to blood transfers of human products.

Truly monagamous relationships entail two people sleeping together exclusively; ie, no third party variable exists to introduce virus to this unique subgroup.

so...........

no third party variable exists to introduce virus to this unique subgroup.

Monogamy is the one factor that can be controlled. A couple can eliminate variant 'c'; the introduction of a third party.

[He Rides A White Horse]

.....and of course abstinance is a sure fire way to limit your exposure to sexually transmitted diseases. I'd say around 100% effective.
