                    [Title] => AIDS awareness advocates want gov’t to focus on women
                    [Summary] => The government’s "A-B-C" strategy to fight the spread of acquired immune deficiency syndrome is obsolete, anti-AIDS advocates said yesterday.


Kim Rasing, coordinator of the Girls and Women in AIDS Network (GWAN), the strategy — A for abstinence, B for being faithful, and C for condom use — does not work because it is directed at men.

"I don’t think it’s easy to make the men abstain from sex, or be faithful or use condoms. So if we focus on these, the entire effort to control AIDS will fail," she told The STAR.

The plan was approved by the Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC). The council is tasked to lead the country’s programs against HIV/AIDS.
