No, of course not
I agree with you, scorp, it's not that simple and I certainly didn't mean to imply that it was.
Sometimes I speak/write out of pure frustration and it makes me feel compelled to find immediate solutions to a much larger problem. I recognize everything you wrote and I believe it to be true. Even though Panafrica stated that the virus isn't as pervasive throughout Africa as reports we hear about, nevertheless that doesn't make me feel any less threatened by the extent to which it still exists.
We're under attack in Africa, we're under attack in America. How many reports do we have to hear or read about before we get really p*ssed off? Black women and children are dying at much higher rates than women of other races/cultures. No it's not just about sex . . . but sex is a natural thing that people have and enjoy and it's a major, major pathway to death and extinction if we don't curb our sexual (and drug use) behavior. It kills the parent--it kills our babies and WE get blamed for it.
No, a condom isn't the ONLY answer . . .but it is a simple and inexpensive effort to start protecting one's self now from the problem so that we can still be around later to become part of the solution. Our corpses don't help us but they do help the evil regime that destroyed us!
Much love and respect!
