Thank you Kevin for publicizing them. > The fact is that countries like Uganda that emphasize abstinence and monogamous relationships are having far greater success in the war against HIV/AIDS than countries like Botswana and Zaire and Nigeria that sneer at these "old-fashioned" ideas and emphasize the pure fantasy of "safe sex" using methods that are anything but safe. > No one with half a brain needs an international conference to tell them in 2006 that the HIV/AIDS infection is the first pandemic in history where most of the adults who contract the disease, other than unsuspecting spouses and partners and the rare hapless blood transfusion recipients, have to work extremely hard in looking for exposing themselves to the virus. Correspondingly, everyone with half a brain knows exactly how to avoid contracting this deadly disease. > The fact is that the only truly safe sex is through abstinence and/or a monogamous relationship with a safe partner. The other methods are "safer" than taking no precautions at all, but hardly "safe". Even to be substantially safe they need far more careful and consistent use than most of the irresponsible adults responsible for spreading the disease are willing to consider. > I publicly urge the moderators of this forum to avoid promoting blatant and senseless propaganda being spread by extreme left wingers falsely suggesting that there is such a thing as "safe sex" using methods that are anything but "safe". > What these people's motives are in misguiding millions of people is beyond the realm of logic. However, the results are there for all to see in the burgeoning HIV/AIDS pandemic that could be stopped in it's tracks by making people aware of the truth about how to avoid contracting this deadly virus. >
