Well I do not think we can blame "the church" for the HIV/AIDS crisis within our community because their stance/support is one clearly of abstinence. I think first and foremost, many in our community still think HIV/AIDS is a "gay white man" disease and it won't happen to him/her, plain and simple. Think about it. I mean, condoms are easily and readily available. In stores, at schools, health clinics, etc. most of the time for a small fee if not the majority of the time FREE. So the means of protection is there and has been. The question is why aren't people using it because the message that condoms help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS is out there, everywhere.
ETA: I saw the special when it aired last week and it was very good. I liked how it addressed all areas of potential causes and not just the same old "condoms will fix it" solutions.
