South Africa
continued from page 3
Many women in South Africa have lit
tle control over their sexual lives, and
Bolton said they “are often not in a posi
tion to negotiate sexual behavior and
things like the use of condoms.”
The research unit gives out more than
3,000 condoms a month as it seeks to em
power and educate South African women
in ways to prevent the spread of HIV. The
government, as part of an intensive aware
ness and education program, buys nearly
400 million condoms a year and distrib
utes them throughout the country.
The message appears to be getting
across. A recent study by the Centre for
AIDS Development, Research and Evalua
tion, known as CADRE, sounded a rare op
timistic note, concluding that condom use
is widespread and endorsed by all age
groups, with “impressive levels” being
reached by those younger than 25.
Life expectancy drops
The HIV/AIDS numbers are stagger
ing. An estimated 1,650 people contract
HIV daily. About 2.65 million women
and 2.09 million men ages 15 to 49 are
infected. Life expectancy has dropped
from 59 years to 49 years. By 2010, the
disease will have killed 5 million to 7 mil
lion South Africans.
Another chilling trend is the soaring
number of rapes, some rumored to be
prompted by the myth that sex with a
virgin can cure AIDS. One of the latest
victims was a 5-month-old girl who later
died from extensive wounds.
According to Interpol, there were
more than 52,000 rape cases in South
Africa in 2000 — 40 percent involving
victims younger than 18. In the first half
of 2001, 20 percent of the victims were
younger than 11.
At the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria,
where free condoms are in all restrooms,
the ambassador, Cameron R. Hume, an
guishes about whether the HIV/AIDS
epidemic will derail South Africa’s
chances of becoming the continent’s
most successful democracy.
“South Africa has good financial sys
tems, natural resources, tourism, good
macroeconomic policy and a good infra
structure,” Hume said before listing prob
lems such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, troubled
schools, soaring crime and corruption.
But he predicted very serious conse
quences if the country does not succeed
in its struggle with AIDS.
If South Africa, with its strong connec
tions to the global economy, does not
succeed, “the lights will go out all over
Africa,” Hume said.

ing the person feel comfortable, said
University senior Anna Giesielski, who
volunteers for the organization.
Every Monday from 4 p.m. to 7
p.m., staff from Lane County Public
Health Department come to the or
ganization to provide HIV testing for
the general public.
On Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.,
HIV Alliance staff provide testing for
the local lesbian, gay and bisexual pop
ulation specifically, although no one is
ever turned away. Also, the staff often
provides testing by appointment.
Staff members sometimes provide a
variety of incentives to get people in
terested in being tested, such as a small
cash allotment or a 9.5-ounce bottle of
flavored, water-based lube.
These incentives can set people at
ease in addition to inspiring them to

come in; however, it sometimes can be
hard to calm people’s fears.
“I think my anxiety and fear is about
death and a loss of freedom,” said Uni
versity student Michael Eaves, a
women’s studies major who volunteers
for the organization and gets tested
there every three months.
Eaves said if he ever tested posi
tive, he would be most afraid of telling
his mother because he would not
want to hurt her.
“She’s always had that pervasive men
tality that she doesn’t want her children
to die before she does,” he said.
Because the issue can be so deli
cate, providing a safe, relaxing space
requires the tester to employ a bal
ance of gentle consideration and
pragmatic language, especially if the
tester has to tell someone he or she is
HIV-positive or has AIDS.
While it is never easy to tell someone
that they have tested positive for HIV in
fection, there are some ways that are
more effective, such as remaining clear
and direct, said men’s outreach director
Curtis Borloglou-Boyd, who has worked
and volunteered at HIV Alliance for al
most five years.
There are also different ways that
people react, depending on the situa
tion, Borloglou-Boyd said.
“Sometimes people, when they get
this kind of news, they’re in a bit of
shock,” he said. “They may just want
to absorb it and go home.
“It’s not a death sentence, but the
other thing is, it’s not a walk in the
park,” he added. “You’re not going to
have the life you had before.”
