@ Johannes:”Nu du selv nævner AIDS og Afrika, så er det jo interessant at den religiøse del af højrefløjen i USA har fået presset igennem, at dogmaet om afholdenhed frem for kondomer skal løse AIDS-krisen også i Afrika. Så måske skal Afrika alligevel ikke takke Bush & co. for deres bidrag til kampen mod AIDS?”Her er hvad Donald Payne (Dem. N.J) sagde til den påstand den 31. december 2006 i Washington Post: “PEPFAR, which often funds programs through religious organizations, has come under criticism for promoting faith-based ideology over science, emphasizing abstinence programs and giving inaccurate information about the effectiveness of condoms in preventing HIV transmission. Payne says such concerns have been allayed in recent years, and he and others credit PEPFAR with saving hundreds of thousands of lives.”
