- henearkr 7y agoThat's happens when launching one-sided projects from some particular country's ideology, instead of going through consensual WHO projects. The AIDS projects from WHO would never dare consider abstinence. They already have the hardest job countering all the traditions and superstitions, even for the simplest thing as not to kiss the dead relatives, so how could they succeed in asking people not to have sex?
