<title>Comment by Jonathon</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Why does this whole thing about coffee-flavored condoms make me a bit sick to my stomach?</p>

<p>Maybe it was the line about using an "Ethiopian flavor" for "Ethiopian girls".</p>

<p>Eww.  </p>

<p>But, to be fair, I feel the same way about most flavored condoms.  The last thing that I want to taste when I am being intimate with a man is food.</p>

<p>Besides... is oral sex the main method of HIV transmission in Africa (or anywhere else for that matter)?<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm a big fan of DKT International.<br />
Well-organized bunch with good plans.<br />
And main method of transmission or not, it's good to cover all bases.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Yes, </p>

<p>thank goodness the west is there to make sure Africans breed properly.</p>

<p>And that we care about immune deficiency so well and kindly with drugs like Nevirapine.</p>

<p>(What's nevirapine? Ask a pregnant African woman, or look it up.)</p>

<p>God bless the aids police. Population control with 'flavor.'</p>]]></description>
