Fighting HIV\AIDS

"One effective means of reducing HIV/AIDS infection rates has come to be known as the "ABC" program (A is for ‘abstinence’; the ‘B’ is for ‘be faithful’; and ‘C’ cautions those who still choose to engage in risky sex to wear condoms).
"And approach on just the ‘A’ and the ‘B’ has been successful in Uganda and is now being adopted in other African nations.
"Despite media attempts to undermine the program’s effectiveness and attribute its success to condoms, one expert told (journalist Sue Ellin) Browder (of Zenit) that the risk-prevention methods of abstinence and fidelity advocated by the (ABC) program are ‘intuitively obvious’ ways of combating the disease."

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.

Translation: "I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head..."

I think this sounds like a good thing. We are told to be faithful in the Bible and to not engage in risky sexual behavior, I think AIDS/HIV may have been God's reason for saying that.

God defined the rules for sexual relations in the bible. He did so for a reason. Disease is one of those reasons. That means all Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) not only aid/hiv.

One might compare the very promiscuous lifestyles today with Russian Roulette.

If you place one bullet in a revolver, spin the cylinder, point the gun to your head and pull the trigger, you have a 1 in 6 chance of killing yourself.

If you persist in improper sexual conduct you face a risk, too. The last I heard there are now some 126 STDs out in the public domain, now.

Some of them cannot be cured.

While condoms may give some protection, they are not fool proof as many who relied on them for birth control have discovered.

The only fool proof way to avoid STDs is to follow the biblical guidance regarding sexual conduct.

13. </SPAN>Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
