Condom Use Up -- To What Effect?
A study in the Lancet says that African women's condom use is on the rise. Per the Associated Press: "While abstinence rates changed little, the study found that condom use more than tripled, from 5.3% in 1993 to 18.8% in 2001, with a median yearly increase of 1.4%." The study looked at survey data only through 2001, and the story provides a good occasion for the usual suspects on either side of the condom debate to repeat their talking points.
