AIDS was identified more than 25 years ago. We all know how it’s spread. In very simple terms, behavior modification will prevent someone from getting AIDS. Why is it that after billions and billions of dollars have been spent on distributing condoms and AIDS education, millions are still getting infected.
If you don’t have sex, you won’t get AIDS. End of discussion.
don’t forget the needles...
I forget which country it is — Nigeria? — that took the “keep it in your pants” approach and rebuffed UN attempts to condomize. IIRC, they are the only African nation that has seen a decrease in AIDS/HIV.
In about 1993, I heard that two or three American high schools had higher pregnancy rates a year after the schools started giving free condoms. Some kids who didn’t have sex, before the condoms were given, had sex, partly because the condoms were free. When they ran out of condoms, many of the kids had sex without condoms, causing many more girls to become pregnant. If the schools didn’t give the condoms, the kids wouldn’t have had sex, and they wouldn’t have conceived.
