That's as silly as focusing on teaching abstinence. Sure, it'd work... in theory. In practice, people don't like condoms and HIV rates would be largely unchanged.
The best hope we have is to work on many fronts at the same time: education, condoms, voluntary circumcision, etc.
- loeg 8y agoPeople don't like condoms in western countries too but they don't seem to have the same sky-high HIV rates. I don't see how making condoms available for free would hurt.
- telchar 8y agoYou're indicting the entire premise of modern safe sex. Either condoms are rarely used and people cannot be taught to use them reliably, or you're wrong. The low infection rate in industrialized countries with good sex education and readily available condoms suggests you're wrong. Contrarily, abstinence hasn't been demonstrated to work anywhere.
