That's truly FUCKED UP SHIT...

Shocked to read this part:

"In responding to the problem, some health workers fault the government, saying it has sent "mixed messages" about the cause of HIV/AIDS and has not done enough to dispel the myth that having sex with a virgin will cure or prevent the disease.

Five million people in South Africa, or 1 in 8, are infected with HIV or AIDS, according to recent United Nations numbers. "

oh boy,you have started me off now.

Firstly..geeze CNN is late with this story. We reported this in our newspaper (my hubby is a jouralist) early last week.

It has a lot to do with the fact that since Nelson Mandela has retired, they have gone from having one of the most noble men the world has ever known as a president to having someone who if I met I would give a good slapping.

Myself, as an AIDS educator, have often been left in tears by the incredible things this man has said in relation to AIDS. Firstly, he says that HIV is not connected to AIDS. Then he makes a statement that he thinks that the drugs people take for HIV actually *Cause* AIDS.

South Africa is a country made up largely of great people. They have over the last century seen some very bad times..particuarly , of course, the native population.

A lot of people here in the UK were heavily involved in the fight against apartheid. I was too young but my husband was so involved that a couple years ago I had to pick my jaw off the floor when Nelson Mandela's personal secretaty called our house.

Now apartheid is over and the same population is being crippled with an epedemic we could never imagine. Read that article (which is shamefully low on background) - 1 in 8 people have HIV/AIDS. Just imagine that for a second.

These aren't like western people living with AIDS. No, these people are DYING of AIDS. They are shunned, left to die. Also, its not just adults. Those 1 in 8 include babies an kids.

They don't have the drugs to keep them alive. There are various reasons for this..part of the reason was that the companies that own the paten on these drugs refused (until they were recently beat in court) to allow their drugs to be made as cut rate generic versions that could be affordable for South Africa.

A statistic I just read...Average life expectancy in South Africa is expected to fall from about 60 years to around 40 years between 1998 and 2008.

Also, keep in mind the poverty these people were forced into by apartheid. They also had massivly lower level of education than the white South Africans.

A mixture of the two no only leads to ignorance of the facts about HIV/AIDS but also increases the number of people in the sex trade. Condoms are not a part of their culture and even if a woman wants to use one she isn't in the position on make demands.

This infant rape thing is a truly horrid outgrowth of this situation. They are told that if they have sex with a virgin they will be cured of AIDS. In the very least its a way to avoid it. Infant rape happens in all parts of the world..just not at that rate in such a truly tragic atmosphere.

On a personal note...we had my husband's best friend brutly murdered in South Africa about four years ago. She was a transexual who was at a gay bar. She came out, was cornered..beaten to an inch of her life and then had a gun put to the back of her head.

So, I have no great love for the country but I would very much like to visit. The crime levels just scare me too much at the moment.

My heart truly bleeds for the AIDS victims of South Africa...victims of a political system.

You can't educate pork.
I met a nurse who worked in Africa, she told me about having to hide the Pill under rocks for the local women, because the husbands would beat their woman if he found out they were using contraception - so what's the fuckin chance of one of those guys using a rubber?
Give the whole continent a Darwin Award.

Wow, I never realized how fucked up a country could be. 1 in 8 people are invected with HIV/Aids, then there's baby raping which is just sick.

I guess that those guys must have small dicks and need a nice small hole so they can get some tightness, ha ha ha.

Those bastards should get their dicks chopped. I know that if that was one of my babies that got raped, I'd be on a rampage.

Sjayne · 12-12-2001, 12:07 PM

No, read the facts then be flip. Perhaps if the world actually tried to help these people then it wouldn't be so easy to fill desperate heads with evil nonsense like having sex with a virgin will cure AIDS.

In the current SouthA Africa it would be amazing if none of those babies had AIDS before the rapes.

Its scary world.
