The Pope - Still at it.

[Dandyman]

I can substantiate it yes.



The Catholic church is the largest in Uganda and worked with the government to to formulate a strategy as it would be through their schools the program would be taught.

The real problem is the Americans and their program PEPFAR, they preach abstinence but in their typical uncompromising American ways.



I agree there's a lot of mis-education. Which is also an issue with condoms.

People are being taught if they wear them they are safe from anything and that's creating a false sense of security.

ABC campaigns didn’t exist anywhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time that HIV prevalence rates in Uganda were dropping fast. It wasn’t until later that Uganda and other countries were sold the various claims including that abstinence alone was responsible for falling HIV prevalence.

By the early 2000s Uganda’s prevalence rates appeared to be flatlining and perhaps even rising, thus calling into question the premise of ABC.

If you really want to reduce HIV, STDS, teen births,etc then you need education, economic development and condoms not religous dogma dressed up as "facts".
