World wide Aids fight hampered

The fight against Aids is being hampered by a massive shortage of condoms - only about one-tenth of the 10.8bn needed were available in developing countries in 2003 and there seems little chance of meeting a target of 18.6bn by 2015.

The shortfall is partly due to a lack of funding for the United Nations Population Fund, which has had its income slashed by the Bush administration. The American right has lobbied strongly and successfully against giving money to agencies that support family planning clinics offering advice on abortion.

Today the international development minister, Gareth Thomas, will appeal to the EU to use its influence to get reproductive health and the condom issue discussed at the summit on the UN's millennium development goals in September.

"If we are going to try to tackle the Aids crisis in Africa and stop it expanding in Asia, we have got to increase funding for UNFPA and get reproductive health rights discussed," he said.

In a speech at the Overseas Development Institute in London, alongside Louis Michel, the EU development and humanitarian rights commissioner, Mr Thomas will urge Europe to exercise leadership.

Condoms are very effective in protecting men and women from infection with the HIV virus, which leads to Aids. But in Africa only four condoms a year are available for every man between 15 and 59 years old.

The US administration backs the use of condoms in its Aids-defeating mantra ABC - abstinence, be faithful and condoms - although some groups in the US would add, only as a last resort. (more)
