Condoms Prevent Pregnancies, Spread Of Aids

It is important that to fight against AIDS we should know something about the HIV/AIDS virus.
Condom:How far can it prevent AIDS

The AIDS virus is a microscopic organism which causes AIDS. It is many, many times smaller than the human sperm.The condom was manufactured more than 160 years ago to prevent the human sperm passing through to fertilize the female egg. It was not manufactured against the HIV/AIDS virus, which only appeared in 1981.

Scientific experiments show that condoms contain pores. The fact that latex condoms do indeed contain pores was highlighted by a major 1981 Food and Drug Administration, FDA, study. The first is to stimulate actual conditions of sexual intercourse.

This study showed detectable leakage of HIV-sized particles in one third (33 percent) of the condoms tested. Electron micrographs reveal voids (holes) five microns in size (50 times the size of the virus), while fracture mechanics analyses, sensitive to the largest flaws present, suggest inherent flaws as 50 microns (500 times the size of the virus).

The AIDS virus is 50 times smaller than these tiny holes which make it easy for virus to pass through them, about as easy as a dime through a basket ball loop or you can say the condom is like a fence built to keep out cows (human sperm) while rats (virus) go in and out freely.

Therefore, there is nothing like safe sex when using the condoms to sex an HIV/AIDS infected person. The certainty is that if you use the condom, you will not impregnate a woman (if the condom is not defective, but many are defective) but you will surely get AIDS yourself. Then it will be too late.

One of my lawyers, a woman told me of a pathetic incidence, that when her colleague was dying of AIDS she asked her to take care of her little son. The dying woman said that what pained her most was the fact that she and her boyfriend used a fresh condom every time they had sex, so how could she have caught AIDS? Of course the unfortunate woman did not know that condoms do not prevent AIDS.

President George W. Bush has shown great concern to help Africa fight the scourge of AIDS. But will the money allocated for AIDS stop the spread of the virus in sub-Saharan Africa, where 76 percent of the world's HIV/AIDS deaths occurred last year? Not if the dark dealings in Africa continue unchecked. In the fight against AIDS, there are major enemies Africa has to watch. Profiteering has trumped prevention.

AIDS is no longer simply a disease; it has become a multibillion-dollar industry, AIDS is now a weapon in the hands of anti-life promoters, AIDS is now an economic and political weapon in the hands enemies, to stop the growth of the African population, thereby stalling economic development. And condoms are the tools used by the perpetrators.

Uganda was one of the highest countries in Africa infected by HIV/AIDS. The whole country, the churches, the government and all civil society, mounted a campaign for FIDELITY AND ABSTINENCE. The proportion of Ugandans infected with HIV plunged from 21 percent in 1991 to six percent in 2002. But international AIDS experts who went to Uganda said Ugandans were wrong to try to limit people's sexual freedom.

Worse, they had the financial power to force their casual-sex agenda upon them. They campaigned and promoted condoms and played down on fidelity and abstinence. As fidelity and abstinence have been subverted, Uganda's HIV rates have begun to tick back up.
Western media have been told this renewed surge of HIV infection is because there are "not enough condoms in Uganda" even though Uganda has many more condoms now than they had in the early 1990s, when their HIV rates began to decline.

Condom promotions have failed in Africa, because effective HIV prevention methods, such as urging Africans to stick to one partner, fidelity and abstinence are ignored. While the loudest HIV-prevention message in Africa is "universal access" to condoms.

Treatment is good, but for every one African who gains access to HIV treatment, six become newly infected. To treat one AIDS patient with life-prolonging anti-retroviral drugs costs more than US $1000 a year. But the successful "fidelity and abstinence" campaign cost just 30 cents per person each year.

Campaigns which insist on sexual abstinence outside marriage and lifelong, mutual fidelity within marriage are indeed scientifically valid and have offered evidence-based proof that people who observe such behaviour have been able to prevent the spread of HIV.

Studies in countries where the HIV prevalence rate has been decreased in recent years, such as Uganda, Kenya and Thailand, indicate that people in these countries were more disposed to reduce the number of their sexual partners and/or to delay the onset of sexual activity than to adopt the use of condoms.

Regrettably, however, many scientists, HIV prevention educators and AIDS activists are so fixed on condom promotion that they do not give due attention to the risk avoidance that is possible to achieve through abstinence outside marriage and mutual, lifelong fidelity within marriage.

International suppliers of condoms make broad, oversimplified statements such as "You can't change Africans' sexual behaviour." While it is true that you can't change everybody, you don't have to. If the share of men having three or more sexual partners in a year drops from 15 percent to three percent as happened in Uganda between 1989 and 1995, HIV infection rates will plunge. It is as simple as that.

Telling men and women to keep sex sacred - to save sex for marriage and then remain faithful - is telling them to love one another deeply with their whole hearts. Most HIV infections in Africa are spread by sex outside of marriage: casual sex and infidelity. The solution is faithful love.

For developing countries, condoms are enemy number one. They prevent pregnancies, so our population cannot grow and we remain underdeveloped and poor. Condoms promote AIDS, which kills people, stalling population growth and economic development. International donors should give malaria tablet free, not free condoms to schools, colleges and universities.

Here is a plea from the Anglican Bishop of Uganda, Rev. Sam L. Ruteikara, co-chair of Uganda's National AIDS-Prevention Committee: Let My People Go, Aids Profiteers.
"So hear my plea, HIV/AIDS profiteers. Let my people go.
