CNNI special on AIDS in Africa: "This place is f****d"

i am watching a cnn international special on AIDS in africa... it's powerful... very powerful... it takes abstinence and puts it directly where in belongs - in the toilet... unfortunately, despite huge campaigns for condom use, the very revealing interviews with both young men and women show that condom use is rejected, even IF the person knows that he or she ALREADY has AIDS, even IF the young men are talking about what might happen if their SISTERS have sex with an infected partner... at one point, in the evening, sitting on the side of his cot, the interviewer looks up at the camera and says, "this place is f****d... the social structure has completely broken down..."

A special edition from Johannesburg, hosted by CNN's African Bureau Chief, Jeff Koinange. As the world observed another World Aids Day, the United Nations said sub-Saharan Africa still lead the world in the number of new infections across the globe.
