Well VuNic you are even more unaware than I thought. The "sex with virgin cures X" myth has been around for centuries. It is present in many, many cultures. Africa does have a bigger problem with it though than other areas I admit. As for AIDS specifically the virgin myth is an African problem not just South African. You'll find it in Cairo and Cape Town and all the tribes and towns inbetween. I'll happily bet that this myth occurs in Asia and South America too. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.
The kinda myth here I've heard about is like... "If you take tiger's milk...", "If you keep a jackles (horn!) yup they take a piece from it's skull and call it a horn!.. but the virgin myth is something new I hear. But this happens in Isalmic beliefs.. But it has never been equated to a " = cures AIDS". :wtf: what a wicked way to spread it!!

MOST people? Don't be a Chicken Little. It isn't that bad by a long stretch. I agree there are problems and we need to work on them but it is a good place to live for many people. BTW, where are you moving to? (and before you accuse me of X Y or Z I didn't leave South Africa because of the crime or its future but because I want to see a bit more of the world. I'll return to SA one day.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

Wasn't there a minister there supporting AIDS prevention (he was president of a prevention campaign supporting the use of condoms and sex ed) aquited of raping a seropositive woman? In the court he stated he believed he was immune to HIV because he took a shower afterwards? or something...

Dublin. Not sure exactly which part of Dublin as yet as it's too soon for me to look for gainful employment but I'm thinking Portmarnock looks nice. :) Just as long as it doesn't take me over an hour to get to work I'm happy. And safe. And a good few thousand miles from ol' Charlie N.
