This excerpt from CNSNews.com (April 5, 2005):

"Our AIDS prevention policy is still based on 'ABC' - Abstinence, be Faithful, use Condoms. Nothing has changed," said the official at the Ugandan Embassy, who spoke on condition on anonymity.

The diplomat agreed that the national focus is, and has been, on abstinence and faithfulness, rather than encouraging the use of condom as a first prevention option.

"We are careful not to create a culture of 'condom mania' in Uganda."
