That might be a minor result; and I agree that is bad. But, the fact is that a very high percentage of the men have extra-marital sex, and then infect their wives. If the use of condoms is socially sectioned, then these wives have a much better chance to save their own lives. AIDs, in Africa, is horrid beyond belief. IIRC, the mean life expectancy in Zambia is now down to about 32 years, as a result of the AIDS epidemic. Dan M.
