I’m glad to hear from Rachel (nearing the half-way point in her two year Peace Corps service in Madagascar) that USAID and the Peace Corps still teach the ABC approach to HIV prevention and planned pregnancy, despite political pressures at the highest levels to de-emphasize the “C” (condom use). Of course ABC alone won’t stop AIDS, but every little bit helps, and not playing idiotic far-right US politics with developing countries wracked by the AIDS epidemic is always a good step in the right…err…correct direction.
