人类免疫缺陷病毒在非洲的传播已达到史无前例的程度，关于使用安全套作为预防措施的争议也不断升级。在南非，全国 5000 万人口中有 570 万人感染艾滋病毒。 2001年，尼日利亚1.4亿人中有5.8%感染了该病毒。 1 在处理这个被称为第二十一次瘟疫的问题时，一些信仰组织根据其性道德教义谴责使用安全套，而政府和其他推行预防计划的世俗机构则根据其已被证明的功效而认可它。这场争论所涉及的问题将是本文的重点。这些问题包括以下主题：宗教信仰、婚姻忠诚、禁欲和安全套的使用。本研究的目的是研究宗教教义和政策如何影响政府和民间组织的预防计划的实施，这些组织主张使用安全套作为全面预防计划的重要组成部分。此外，该研究希望提供一些见解，有助于促进宗教组织与政府和社会组织之间更有效的合作。
The spread of the human immunodeficiency virus in Africa has reached epic proportions, and the controversy over the use of condoms as a preventive measure has also escalated. In South Africa, 5.7 million of the nation’s 50 million people are infected with HIV. In 2001, 5.8 percent of Nigeria’s 140 million were infected with the virus. 1 In dealing with this problem, which has been described as the twenty-first plague, some faith-based organizations have denounced condom use based on their sexual ethical teachings, while government and other secular agencies that pursue preventive programs endorse it based on its proven efficacy. The issues involved in this controversy will be the focus of this article. These issues include the following topics: religious beliefs, marital fidelity, abstinence, and condom use. The purpose of this study is to examine how religious teachings and policies affect the implementation of preventive programs of governments and civil organizations that advocate the use of condoms as an essential ingredient of a comprehensive prevention program. Furthermore, the study hopes to provide some insight that can be helpful in fostering more effective collaboration between faith-based organizations on the one hand, and governments and social organizations on the other.
