Unintended consequences of contraception

October 5, 2011 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

A Lancet study reveals that where a common contraceptive is used in eastern and southern Africa, HIV rates have gone up:

The reasons behind this association are as yet unclear, and may be biological. But to those who have not been blinded by the leftist global health consensus, another explanation seems quite possible: the aggressive promotion of contraception may increase the rates of sex, both protected and unprotected (especially with multiple partners, the main cause of the HIV pandemic).

Such a dynamic has been seen in previous research on why condom promotion in Africa has also not slowed, and may have even increased, the rates of HIV infection. Edward C. Green, formerly of the AIDS Prevention Research Project at Harvard (and a proud liberal), summarized the undeniable evidence in a Washington Posteditorial two years ago.

Those not blinded by the leftist global health consensus will have no problem understanding this. Those who have? Consider opening at least one eye.
