That's why the Regan administration had a big issue with us with their "war on drugs". About TV channels: at least in India there ARE channels to flip. In Myanmar there are 2 state channels non of them are 24/7. If you're not wealthy enough to get a satellite dish or lucky enough to get electricity there are NO channels to flip.Yu Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246031285395786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648837491947590757.post-7931777665760896812008-12-03T18:32:00.000+05:302008-12-03T18:32:00.000+05:30I think the main worry about AIDS is not the disea...I think the main worry about AIDS is not the disease. It is the lack of awareness, which leads to social stigma. That is, in turn, linked to the idea of sex as 'taboo' in the South-Asian countries like India. Unless the 'forbidden' tag is wrenched out of all aspects related to sexuality, there is little hope of any progress in making people aware. How can you get your message across when families change the TV channel as soon as the word 'condom' is used?Chanchal Roychoudhuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429588683751396155noreply@blogger.com
