Abstinence Campaigns - the Nonsensical Answer from Religious Zealots to the Spread of AIDS. Is What They're Causing Actually Manslaughter?

I find it hard to believe that prostitution in Thailand is a problem of lack of abstinence. It's already cynical when something like this is spouted by a head of state at an AIDS conference, or when the US government focuses on it.

Of course, behind this lies the usual notion that women choose prostitution voluntarily - something only people who are very out of touch with reality or very cynical could believe. As if it weren't bad enough that in many parts of the world, young girls and boys hardly have any other chance of survival than prostitution - which ultimately leads to death through AIDS.
