The New York Times, in a recent installment of its "Death and Denial" series about AIDS in Hlabisa, South Africa, reports that "everyone in Hlabisa has been advised to use condoms, but few do." Poverty, ignorance, "fatalism," myths and "cynicism" all play a role in residents' decisions not to use condoms. Although some men interviewed in local bars said that they may use condoms "20% to 50% of the time," they added that "[b]ecause we are Zulus, we don't believe AIDS can affect us. We see our sisters dying, but we don't believe it's AIDS. We think it's TB or pneumonia."
