In therapy practice, I have learnt much about assumptions we make and do not generally talk about. I think this is just a very very dangerous strategy.

Can you imagine a woman telling her husband/partner, no sex for a month? Or a man telling his wife/partner, “honey, we are not having sex for a month” ” because what????”.. “well because l might have been infected a few days ago or in the last month and l do not want to infect you at this most dangerous time” The partner would be like W T ***//**!!That would be an interesting (and dangerous) conversation to have given how emotive these issues tend to be!

And that’s just among the consenting adults. How do we address the reality of non-consensual sex which accounts for a significant percentage of infection, in most of our countries, but especially in South Africa? I understand we are getting desperate, but wouldn’t the money be better spent elsewhere? Like maybe making sure every woman, girl, boy and man has access to post exposure prophylaxis, for when they need it most, say ummm.. after being raped maybe??
