"20 years into the pandemic there is no evidence that more condoms leads to
less AIDS," stated Dr. Edward C. Green of Harvard's' Center for Population
and Development Studies.
Citing data on condom availability in many African counties, Green went on
to say that "we are not seeing what we expected: that higher levels of
condom availability result in lower HIV prevalence."

Dr. Norman Hearst of the University of California — San Francisco
supported this analysis with statistics on Kenya, Botswana, and other
countries, which show an increasingly alarming pattern of increased condom
sale correlation with rising HIV prevalence by year.

PRESUMING this is what Green said, a cite with the article and its
full context would be better than one of your possibly altered
snippets. In short, you are not to be trusted for ANY information you
supply without a reference to the original source.

You are the one who cannot be trusted as I have proven again and again.

I would have thought that it was obvious that there is a clear
difference between availability and actual use.
