Hi Guys,
Thanks for bringing up the issue again. Doctors are so knowledgeable and
have read about so many studies etc, but the simple message to the ordinary
people of PNG should be: "No extra/premarital sex, or other wise, use
condoms" - to be safe from HIV. It is simple to explain and the people can
absorb that.

Cheers,

eric.
