Editorial Attacks Shift Away from Condoms in HIV Prevention
In a direct attack on the Bush administration's stance on HIV prevention, authors from a leading US sexual health and family planning organisation asserts that consistent use of condoms can reduce the risk of HIV transmission in discordant couples to "near zero" in an editorial in the August edition of the journal 'Sexually Transmitted Infections'. The authors also note that although condoms are extremely cost effective, their importance to HIV prevention seems to have been forgotten in the push for global treatment access, and that other substantial obstacles still exist to effective condom distribution schemes.
