This is not meant to be a political thread............there is a bit of humor in it actually...... but serious aids is a problem but what is going to happen after this scenario....
"As a former head of the South African National AIDS Council, Zuma shocked many by arguing against scientific evidence that there was little danger of him contracting HIV from unprotected sex, and that his taking a shower after intercourse with the woman reduced the risk of transmission.
Doctors and health activists fear Zuma's testimony could undermine years of prevention campaigns against a virus that has infected up to 6 million South Africans -- the highest number anywhere in the world.
Women's groups said the case has increased awareness of rape in South Africa, where rape is common with 114 cases reported per 100,00 people, compared to a rate of 32 per 100,000 in the United States. In 2003-2004, more than 55,000 rape cases were reported to police, an increase from 44,750 in 1994-95."

by the way, he was found not guilty of rape charge this afternoon........... where is this going to take the world in its aids crisis.......
