Abstinence and monogamy credited with reducing African HIV rates
Republican Congressman… Chris Smith provided indisputable evidence of the victory: AIDS prevention events in African countries achieve successful results when they are founded upon abstinence and fidelity. From the House of Representatives, Smith drew a bill to revive the President’s Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS.
After citing the reports of the U.S. State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services – which prove the infallible measure of abstinence and fidelity in these programs – Smith pointed out that both measures have been an important factor to halt the spread of AIDS in Uganda, Kenya and Zimbabwe. These three provinces have shown declining HIV/AIDS spread rates. Reports indicate that this decline is due to the extension of abstinence and fidelity.

This is too good to not be true.
Planned parenthood God’s way.
Good to hear, it seems there’s usually only bad news when it comes to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Right, “[t]hese three provinces” of Uganda, Kenya, and Zimbabwe in that oh-so-big (and dark and poor) country of Africa.
Great sign though, and great news if it is truly shown that these campaigns are the reason for the decline.
