Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Bush accused of Aids damage to Africa: "Jeevan Vasagar and agencies in Nairobi and Julian Borger in Washington | Tuesday August 30, 2005 | The Guardian
A senior United Nations official has accused President George Bush of 'doing damage to Africa' by cutting funding for condoms, a move which may jeopardise the successful fight against HIV/Aids in Uganda.
Stephen Lewis, the UN secretary general's special envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa, said US cuts in funding for condoms and an emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to a shortage of condoms in Uganda, one of the few African countries which has succeeded in reducing its infection rate."
