The May 27 issue of the New Republic examines how Uganda's "ABC" HIV/AIDS prevention program has primarily used behaviour modification to lower HIV infection rates and how that model could be applied to the rest of Africa. ABC, which began in 1987 after President Yoweri Museveni became aware that many soldiers in the army were HIV-positive, stands for "Abstain, Be Faithful, or wear a Condom." The program focuses primarily on abstinence before marriage and fidelity inside of marriage, and has "little to do" with condoms.
