CONDOM TREE PROMOTES HIV/AIDS AWARENESS
AIDS is a serious killer these days, l will fight the bull by its horns when it comes to awareness.
Papua New Guinea has reached epidemic proportions.
A UNAIDS report released on the 21 November 2005 says since 1997 HIV diagnoses have increased by 30 percent each year. By using condoms people can protect themselves from the disease but how do they obtain them easily. People had to say this when asked about the condom tree “Jonas had to say she’s saying condoms are easily found but the manner they have being distributed is very frustrating where by you are in a chemist and there are a lot of people you cant just buy ,reason because they will think you like sex so much it’s just a mind set of an individual that’s how its made. hospital’s also are very humiliating because when the medical people give you and say you should use condoms because you are sexually active and its not suppose to be like that so has a result we kill our selves because we fight with our mind sets so the promotion of the condom tree is a good thing because one could just pick up the condom at any time one wants this is all l have to say has Jonas a person from Papua new guinea.
A support group in Guinea has come up with “what” they are calling condom tree, condoms now come on trees.
Dispensing boxes are nailed to the trees allowing people to pick up condoms anytime. The so called condom tree is helping a lot of people because , condoms are at people’s dispose any time. This tree is helping to protecting freely available time for anyone, which is very important if worldwide had this project it would make HIV/AIDS free and would reach the MDG by 2015 . this is a very good HIV/AIDS awareness if countries could share ideas this would be a better world to live in HIV/AIDS free .

HIV/AIDS is a reality that is hard to understand. It is something that has not been explained of its origins. What I don’t believe is that, with all the present technology, we still don’t know the origins of this hard-to-take reality.
Hearing about the ‘condom tree theory’ further breaks my heart. I term this as moving from gross ‘madness’ to lost-mind-lunacy. Why Am I saying all these things that sound so retrogressive to the ever tough fight against HIV/AIDS; starting from the smallest part of my being, I have never supported the use of condoms in my life because I can not capture the logic of using a condom. Even those who support and use them have failed to answer some of my questions that I have raised.
Hearing about the Condom tree theory (I almost called it nonsense), makes me simply dizzy. The psychological effect that this is having on those who have no proper use of their sexual organs is that they have allowed them to have it anywhere and anytime. I shun to think of the situation where some sex maniac knows that the condom is up the tree let me wait for someone to offer me what I don’t have (parable). I am just wondering if you want all of us to become sex-psychics.
I would rather spend my time, ernegy, knowledge, and my reasoning preaching abstinence. I know that many can change if the fight goes the way of abstenence. The scenario of hanging up condoms on a tree is simply something that has the demonic potential to turn everyone else into a sex-maniac. Sathulu, you are intelligent but I am urging you to spend your time, power and money on something that has the right impact on the African populace.
If I may ask, what becomes of condoms if the cure for HIV/AIDS is found? What we should preach is abstinence from the word go. Because whether there is HIV/AIDS or not, we still be the very same people with our same straight morals and logical African principles of respect for the opposite sex.
We have lost our identity and so we will perish like lost soldiers. Our African morals are sufficient enough to deal with the social paradox called HIV/AIDS.
Let us know who we are………..if we already know who we are,…let us see how we can fight HIV/AIDS using other means rather than something that has been formulated by others whose morals are reasonably immoral according our ever rich culture and treasured African Anthropology.
Sathulu, I need to see you in person.
