No, E, you beat me to that one. I'm glad you posted it. It IS interesting. I particularly liked this: "It's fortuitous common ground," says Jeff Spieler, chief of the research division in USAID's population office. "We're not really influenced by the Bush administration's line on abstinence. It just happens to be where the evidence is pointing." Adds Green: "I'm a flaming liberal, don't go to church, never voted for a Republican in my life. But if you say the things I've said ... the religious people love you and the people in public health get suspicious." Were AIDS not such a serious subject, I would have giggled upon reading it.

I think the Ugandan method has a lot of relevance to other African nations, as well as other developing nations where people typically marry very young. It would not work in the US, or similar environments. If most people are marrying in their teens, the idea of chastity until marriage, which is a product of this sort of environment, makes perfect sense. When the average age of marriage starts running into the mid/late 20's, you can forget about it, because it's not going to happen.
