This piece from KansasCity.com suggests that cheaper Chinese condoms are causing a
dilemma for the folks at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has distributed an estimated 10 billion U.S.-made AIDS-preventing condoms in poor countries around the world.
Which makes me ask, “Why are my federal tax dollars being used to purchase condoms which, in the African context (see post below), are ineffective anyway?”
