Bleak stories behind failed condom campaigns

Chinwuba Iyizoba
Before blanketing the continent with condoms to stop AIDS, why don't you live in rural Africa for a while?

Sub-Saharan Africa has two-thirds of the world’s HIV/AIDS cases. So you would think that Western journalists and politicians might condescend to ask us what we think about how to fight AIDS. But they haven’t. A pity, because they would have found that many of us support Pope Benedict XVI’s scepticism about the effectiveness of distributing condoms.
