This
is what we have to work with since Mandela stepped down. How can a potential president of the country with the highest HIV rate not know that unprotected sex with an HIV positive woman spread the virus? A shower? Are you joking? Is this what sex ed has come to? Yeesh.
This is what happens when the current president believes that HIV is the west's way of keeping blacks down, and who claims to not understand what a "syndrome" is. See Thambo Mbeki on google for more.
And p.s.--South Africa's minister of health claims that eating garlic and doing yoga cures--CURES--AIDS.

... and to think their ignorance is causing others to believe the same thing and ultimately their death.
I read that article on BBC this morning, and all I could do was keep muttering the word MORON--sometimes under my breath and sometimes a little more explosively. A shower? Seriously??? At least we can rest assured that you can have sex with anyone you want as long as you have a healthy amount of garlic in your diet. geez!
you know, i hardly believe that he actually believes that garlic or yoga cures AIDS. I honestly think that in a land where it is so rampant he says such things as a way of sedating the public- rather then say, 'listen there is no cure and any treatment possible is well, too expensive for you," he says something all people can access just as a means of guarding society from a state of panic. Not saying that's a good option- it's not- but i really don't think the health minister is that ignorant to thing garlic and yoga cures aids. but maybe he is. :P
he's also the former head of South Africa's National AIDS Council, according to CNN. It's crazy to think that between 5 and 6 million people in SA have HIV and this man was meant to head up that campaign, all the while trying to justify his own irresponsible behavior. it's just the mindset here. i was thinking about it in relation to the street kids. they are growing boys and some of them are obvioulsy curious about sexuality--especially with prostitutes running around these streets with such regularity.
what's going to stop a lowly-educated street boy who is starving for affection from doing something that a man like zuma has done? it takes more than education. it takes a moral code you are willing to sacrfice the carnal instincts for.
