Morals and AIDS
Posted on September 8th, 2004 in General, Religion by tavaresforby ||
The US contributes a significant amount of money for AIDS programs globally but do not get praise for it. The reason being is because other countries do not like the fact that the US puts religious morals on the ways to control AIDS like abstinence programs. Personally, I don’t see how other countries complain because the US is contributing twice as much money than all other countries put together. A movie actor by the name of Rupert Everett spoke badly about the US, saying that abstinence before marriage is inhumane and that the US has judgmental attitudes towards sex. This attitude is blamed on religion. That’s absurd! I guess Rupert wants a free attitude towards sex and just use the money on finding a cure for AIDS. And how is abstinence inhumane? I know that abstinence is a very hard thing to do for many people, but there is many that does it. Besides, only about 7 percent of the US contribution goes to abstinence programs. Infections dropped in Uganda by delaying a woman’s average age for the first time having sex and reducing the number of partners.
You would think the country that contributes twice as much money to fight AIDS globally as the rest of the world combined, and whose drug companies developed the medicines that stopped the progression of HIV, would get a little applause, or at least respect, at a giant conference on AIDS like the one held in Bangkok in July.
But you would be wrong. The country in question, of course, is the United States, and instead of praise, it got vilification. Why? The reason that resonated most was that “the Bush Administration panders to the religious Right,” in the words of Sebastian Mallaby, a Brit and Washington Post columnist who otherwise admires Bush’s AIDS policy.
Specifically, as Bill Bowtell, president of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations, put it, “The money was to be spent as the United States wished–to promote abstinence from sexual activity”
The key to the drop in infections in Uganda was a delay in the average age of a woman’s first sexual experience and a reduction in the number of her partners. Abstinence works.
A moral is the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character. It is also the conscience or the sense of right and wrong. Morals are morals, regardless if it’s personal or religious. It is still a moral. Therefore, if a person feels that having sex with multiple partners or losing their virginity at an early age is bad, then that is what their conscience is telling them. Many times, it just so happens the people’s morals and religious morals match. I believe that having high morals will prevent diseases and other STDs, let alone solve other social issues.
