What a lousy article. I don't mean to preach, but AIDS is the simplest disease to beat. It would die in one generation if everybody followed the principles of most basic relgions.

Don't tell me that condoms and educating drug users will prevent spreading this disease. There is only one sure way, abstinence. I had a 0.000000% chance of contracting the disease becasue I didn't do drugs, and my wife and I made it to our wedding night.

Otherwise, it's just rolling the dice. It's just a matter of probability, if you engage in risky behavior, eventually you will get caught. If you are sexually active outside of marriage and regularly seek different partners, how can you expect to carry a condom in every situation that presents itself? Oh I get it, somebody who has no will power to wait for the right person is all of a sudden going to be able to withstand the temptation of having spontaneous sex without a condom with a perfect stranger....yeah right. This disease will keep spreading until people start changing principles. That will lead them to changing their behavior.
