and then we have people like Archbishop Chimoio in Mozambique saying the following,
“Condoms are not sure because I know that there are two countries in Europe, they are making condoms with the virus on purpose,” he alleged, refusing to name the countries.

safer sex may minimise the infection rates.

very very sad indeed
check some stats
"Zambia's problems have since the mid 1980s been compounded by one of the world's most devastating HIV and AIDS epidemics. The statistics alone are shocking:
one in every six adults is living with HIV
98,000 people died of AIDS in 2005
life expectancy at birth has fallen below 40 years
710,000 children are AIDS orphans.1"
