Angolan AIDS Campaign Draws Protests from Women, Church, PoliticiansJuly 24, 2001 A government AIDS awareness campaign in Angola is drawing criticism from women's rights activists, church leaders and politicians who say its message is too blunt. The campaign includes TV spots featuring naked sex scenes and interviews of young women who are asked if they have ever used a condom. "This propaganda is doing more to encourage immorality than to educate," said Mendes Carvalho, a member of the ruling MPLA party. Angola's civil war, which began in 1975, is accelerating the spread of HIV. According to official figures, about 500,000 Angolans have HIV, and 8,000 have died of AIDS.
