Uganda is winning the war against AIDS, Bush has mentioned that while in Africa, and in the SOTU speech. Uganda's plan is working, and it is really simple, it's based upon responsibility and abstinence, not on condoms. Spreading this program throughout Africa would work. Remember, AIDS in Africa is primarily spread by sexual intercourse and in mother-child transmition at birth.

I'm afriad that it's a myth that Uganda is winning the war against AIDS. It's as bad as ever there. It has been proven that UNAIDS and UNICEF have doctored the figures to try to make Uganda a showcase because the East African country has so closely followed UN advice and three-pronged strategy of Abstinence, faithfulness and contraception. Condoms are more easily available in Uganda than anywhere else in Africa and are also distributed to children in schools. Shocked staff at UNICEF battling AIDS in Uganda have told me that these figures are completely untrue. There was also a very good examination of this in the British medical journal The Lancet which scrutinized the figures and showed them to be false.
