I don't know ... the drugs are somewhat effective, and if they can keep infected people working, that's a good thing

Do you sincerely believe that the drugs stop HIV infections from passing?

No. But the moral requirements of the Bush policy were working, and they had worked in Uganda before he enstated them.

The men in Africa needed moral training, and they got it, and that's why the AIDs epidemic abated.

It is my understanding that the Obama admin. is planning on removing the moral restrictions, and if they do that, you will have an argument.

Do you sincerely believe that the drugs stop HIV infections from passing?

No, of course not -- and I agreed with you on that.

But the drugs do help to keep the folks already infected with HIV alive; and given that the alternative is generally for them to die and leave behind orphans with no means of support, the drugs must be counted not only as a positive moral good, but also a practical good.
