Contracting a disease is an admission of weakness. It would make him a laughing stock. Despite the efforts of Pantura Free AIDS Action, folklore still has a firm hold when it comes to sexual diseases. I was tired. That's what did it.
Some drivers believe they can cure infections by drinking soapy water.
Others take antibiotics just before or after sexual intercourse. To spread their AIDS message along the Pantura highway, volunteers persuaded drivers to turn their trucks into mobile billboards. The co-sponsor of the AIDS campaign is the National Family Planning Coordinating Board, which worries that promoting condoms would be seen as endorsing a promiscuous lifestyle. That's why the AIDS workers hand out condoms to those drivers who will take them. But many people worry that it may all be too late.
