Female Condom gains unexpected acceptance in Africa (2)
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear AFRO-NETS,
I am happy about the information on the unexpected reaction/attitude
towards the female condom. This shows how women are also determined
to protect themselves against STIs in general and AIDS in particular.

This is very good to hear.
