Slik skriver DagenMagazinet<\/a> p\u00e5 siden nettsider. Og de fortsetter: Seniorforsker ved Harvard universitetet i USA, dr Edward Green, har skrevet fem b\u00f8ker om aids-epedemien i verden. Flere av dem tar opp det internasjonale arbeidet som gj\u00f8res for \u00e5 hindre spredning. Green, som regner seg som liberal, g\u00e5r langt i \u00e5 st\u00f8tte paven. «Den vedtatte sannhet innen forskning og media er at kondom senker antallet aids-smittede. Men en rekke studier viser det motsatte. Vi finner ingen sammenheng mellom mer kondombruk og lavere smitterate i Afrika», sier han til catolichnewsagency.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Green mener det er en bevisst \u00f8konomisk tanke bak kondom-fokuset. Da epedemien slo ut i Afrika, begynte \u00abindustrien\u00bb, som han kaller det, med en dobbelkampanje for kondom for \u00e5 f\u00e5 mer offentlige midler til kondomdistibusjon. Slik gjorde de en produkt som var brukbart for \u00e5 unng\u00e5 u\u00f8nskede graviditeter, til det \u00abbeste v\u00e5penet mot aids\u00bb.<\/p>\n

«Teoretisk skal kondomer virke, og noe bruk av kondom burde v\u00e6re bedre enn ingen bruk av kondom. Men det er teoretisk, sier han.» Greens neste bok vil se n\u00e6rmere p\u00e5 denne industrien, som \u00e5rlig f\u00e5r milliarder i st\u00f8tte og som aktivt trenerer all snakk om atferdsendring.<\/i><\/p>\n

Fra artikkelen p\u00e5 catolichnewsagency.com<\/a> tar vi med: According to Dr. Green, science is finding that the media is actually on the wrong side of the issue. In fact, Green says that not only do condoms not work, but that they may be \u201cexacerbating the problem\u201d in Africa.<\/p>\n

…. After spending 25 years promoting condoms for family planning purposes in Africa, he insists that he\u2019s quite familiar with condom promotion. Yet, he claims that \u201canyone who worked in family planning knew that if you needed to prevent a pregnancy, say the woman will die, you don\u2019t recommend a condom.\u201d<\/p>\n

…. The accepted wisdom in the scientific community, explained Green, is that condoms lower the HIV infection rate, but after numerous studies, researchers have found the opposite to be true. \u201cWe just cannot find an association between more condom use and lower HIV reduction rates\u201d in Africa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Green found that part of the elusive reason is a phenomenon known as risk compensation or behavioral disinhibition. \u201c[Risk compensation] is the idea that if somebody is using a certain technology to reduce risk, a phenomenon actually occurs where people are willing to take on greater risk.\u201d …. Because people are willing take on more risk, they may \u201cdisproportionally erase\u201d the benefits of condom use, Green said. ….<\/p>\n

Green\u2019s new book, \u201cAIDS and Ideology,\u201d to be completed in the next few months, will describe the industry in Africa that is \u201cdrawing billions of dollars a year promoting condoms, testing, drugs, and treatment of AIDS\u201d and is clearly resistant to the idea that behavioral change is the solution.<\/p>\n

Yet the two countries that have the highest infection rate of AIDS in the world, Botswana and Swaziland, have recently launched campaigns to promote fidelity and monogamy, the Harvard researcher said. These countries \u201chave learned the hard way\u201d about the failure of condoms in preventing AIDS, he said, noting that \u201cBotswana has probably had more condom promotion\u201d than any other county on a per capita basis. Green said he had no problem \u201chaving condoms as a backup to fidelity-based programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Green, the Catholic Church should continue to \u201cdo what it is already doing,\u201d avoid \u201carguing about the diameter of viruses\u201d and cite scientific evidence in connection with scripture and moral theology<\/strong>.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
