Swazi MP apologizes for HIV branding proposal
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A Swaziland parliamentarian has apologized after calling for HIV-positive people to be branded on the buttocks to stop the spread of the virus ravaging the country. Timothy Myeni drew widespread criticism after telling a parliamentarians' workshop in Swaziland that the move would enable people to check partners for a warning stamp before sex. "I'm very sorry. If you need me to show a sign of how sorry I am, I'm ready," SAPA news agency quoted Myeni as telling a news conference in Johannesburg on Thursday.
Critics say Swaziland King Mswati III, who chose a new wife last year at a traditional Reed Dance, sets a bad example by encouraging polygamy in a country with one of the world's highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rates.
:angryfire2: Grrr, his ignorance is showing! No wonder HIV and AIDS are running rampant in Africa. :irked:
1) From what I have read on the topic, many of the women who have HIV in Africa are raped. My guess is they didn't have time to say , "let me see you shake that ass, first." 2) Once diagnosed who does the branding? The social worker at the clinic? 3) Perhaps he should work on ridding the country of ignorant superstitions, such as: 'Sex with a female virgin rids you of HIV & AIDS.' :mad:
