Officials introduced what has been called the ABC approach, advocating abstinence, monogamy, and condoms in equal measure for the general population; the HIV rate fell, down to 4 percent in 1998.[10] The decline has been attributed to increased abstinence,[11] delayed sexual initiation,[11] partner reduction,[12] and a steep rise in condom use.[13] With the advent of PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), Uganda began to emphasize abstinence over condoms.[14] Uganda’s AIDS Commission Director General David Kihumoro Apuuli announced in May 2006 that the number of new HIV infections in Uganda rose from 70,000 in 2003 to 130,000 in 2005.[15]" With comparisons to other developing nations and numerous reference pointers in brackets [ ], from: advocatesforyouth.org One wishes to believe the results cited, and that there would be continuing declines, but I don't know that I fully do.
