PRESIDENT Daniel arap Moi of Kenya, where AIDS kills 500 people every day, on Thursday declared the disease a national disaster, but declined to advocate condom use to fight the epidemic. Addressing the official opening of a four-day AIDS awareness symposium for legislators here on Thursday, Moi ordered the immediate setting up of a National AIDS Control Council. However, Moi said his government and Kenya’s churches would not advocate the use of condoms as a method of prevention, because this would be tantamount to advocating casual sex among the young. “Youths must be made aware of the futility of promiscuous sex,” he warned. According to one study, condom use has saved more than 110000 Kenyans from HIV infection.
