Dale > a pro-virginity campaign might not accomplish much. Couldn't hurt though. It certainly helped in Uganda. Statistics don't lie -- do they?! But as you know, I like to beat the abstinence drum because I believe without control over promiscuous and pre-marital sexual activity, no anti-AIDS campaign or treatment can ever work. > I haven't seen any figures but I assume the infection levels stabilized in the white gay community eventually. I think today more SAn whites contract the infection from heterosexual sex, presumably with Africans, than with gays but how does one know? Apparently even a SAn gay website does not. 365gay.com But one thing is a fact -- the SAn government is presiding over more than just an epidemic. In fact, and in my opinion, their "doing nothing about it but blaming whites for the poverty of Africans which is the cause of AIDS" campaign is tantamount to committing genocide on their own people. >>In May South Africa's health minister insisted that good nutrition was just as important as anti-retroviral medicines and said her government would not be pressured into meeting U.N. treatment targets. Manto Tshabalala-Msimang said far too little was known about the side-effects of the drugs.<<
