Former President Clinton's Plan to Fight AIDs - Fidelity

Former President Clinton's talked about how to fight the spread of the AIDs virus. The crux of the plan was monogamy. Such is an obvious way to stem the spread of the disease considering the alternative. AIDS is primarily spread through sexual relations, so the more partners you have the more likely you are to get the disease. By the same token, the more partners you have, the more people you are likely to spread the disease to if you are already infected.

This idea is nothing new. Perhaps more noteworthy than the message is the messenger. Anyone who can remember scandals and/or that stained blue dress probably can not help but smirk a little. I will admit that when I first read the story I to could not contain a little smile. Beyond the smirk, Former President Clinton should also be commended for saying what needed to be said despite what he had to know would be the consequences. Look for jokes about this on the comedy shows over the next few days.

"Bill Clinton made a plea yesterday for a new emphasis on monogamy as a key element in the battle against Aids.

The former US president, not noted for his ability to keep his own marriage vows, said it was very important to change people's attitudes to sex.
