aids is preventable in the vast number of cases by a process that is hundreds if not thousands of times more complex and less reliable than virtual 100% one time polio prevention for that individual. Reality is people often will not act with responsibility. you can argue that it's inexpensive, but that is also a fools argument as each individual has to make perhaps hundreds of decisions to achieve that inexpensive solution. That life time of choices is complex and many simply do not have the intellect to comprehend or emotional strength to resist. I am not against doing all avoidance education possible. And one can make the case that morality has a bearing. But to me I advocate teaching 100% biology as the prevention and it's OK even good that that agrees with morality. I'd Teach rubbers are russian roulette biology. Do you chance your life with gun with a cylinder of nnn chambers. The only option I dismiss is a polio aids analogy. It's dumb.
