Since leaving office, former US President Bill Clinton has worked tirelessly on international humanitarian issues.

One big theme has been the fight against Aids, and since 2002 the Clinton Foundation’s HIV/Aids initiative has worked with many countries to set up treatment and prevention programmes.

And who better to answer than America's foremost expert on STDs!

[Semper Paratus]

Stopping the spread of AIDS is very simple.

[Mr. Brightside]

I have done more to slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases than Bill Clinton has done.

By the way, did he use a condom with Willey, Paula Jones and all the others?

[CzarNicky]

from what I have seen we are doing far too much out of proportion of sufferers.

[sgtbono2002]

I guess with all this time Bubba has spent conquering AIDS its now a thing of the past. It is dying out isnt it? Oh:: You say the only thing dying out is those that have it?

Well the occurrence of AIDS has fallen hasnt it?? Oh You say its actually on the increase?

By the way Bubba youre looking mighty slim and puny lately yourself. Should Monica get a HIV test?

It's simple,Billy:

If you're a guy,don't have sex with guys.

Don't shoot up

Don't have sex with a guy who has sex with guys or shoots up

Don't become a prostitute

Don't patronize prostitutes

[varyouga]

The 'toons antics are probably responsible for thousands of kids getting AIDS from "not sex".

[MeanWestTexan]

I asked him if it was hard for him to keep up with the pill schedule required for people with HIV.

[dead]

By the way, did he use a condom with Willey, Paula Jones and all the others?

Actually, they both managed to escape before he could rape them, thereby doing their bit to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted disease.

[mewzilla]

A legend in his own mind.

[Gay State Conservative]

Unlike most psychopaths,Billy Bob doesn't even bother to pretend to be ashamed.

[dhs12345]

Even more so in the United States. People who get it in the US are either having risky sex (very promiscuous or not using protection) or are IV drug users.

Both lifestyle *choices*.

Africa? A different story.

When I saw this magazine in my local bookstore I almopst barfed!

[RexBeach]

This guy is a remarkable example of style way over substance.

He did virtually nothing for 8 years as prexy, but folks seem to like this guy.

Bill's Axiom: "Talk is precious, action is cheap(unless, of course, it involves interns the age of my daughter)."

AIDS? God, what an authority.

[Gay State Conservative]

Africa? A different story.

I don't think this is entirely true.Heterosexual promiscuity is a big,big factor in the AIDS situation in Africa.

[TChris]

Stopping the spread of AIDS is very simple.

But it requires education in and commitment to the truth. That is something sorely lacking, especially when ever William Jefferson Clinton's name is on it.
