Certain people might consider applying some journalistic or scientific objectivity to the question of where in Africa the condom use relentlessly promoted by Western non-governmental organisations and compliant governments has ever arrested, never mind reversed, the rate of HIV infection. There is nowhere.
Huge numbers of condoms were distributed in Botswana, and the result was for the then President Festus Mogae to declare, "Abstain or die." But a a reversal has long been underway in Uganda, ever since a 70 per cent reduction in the 1990s due to the government's message being the same as the Catholic Church's: "Change Your Behaviour."
Who is incapable of fidelity within a monogamous marriage and of abstinence outside? Women? Black people? Poor people? Developing-world people? Or just poor black women in the developing world?
