condoms are not the answer

It would be such a shame to talk about AIDS and sex without addressing the issue of condoms. Sure, I talked about them earlier, but now I am serious. It is a fact that if everyone kept to just one partner for life, and ceased injecting drugs, HIV would be wiped off the face of this earth. It is also true that continuing without restraint over the same period could cost countless lives. Condoms are an incomplete answer other than reducing the risk in the short term.

Are governments honestly expecting a couple where one or other may have been at risk to go on using condoms for the next 50 years ? What happens when they want to have children or when the condom breaks, leaks, falls off or fails in some other way? Pregnancy rates are notoriously high with condoms. So bazwalane bami, abstinence and faithfulness is the only way forward, just as God ordained in His word. Let’s choose life and live.
