Arabjin it is because they did not want take the taste and know that they have HIV and then effective four women. Think about it when one of your wife is effective HIV. HIV didn't transmit only by sex but by blood contact too. So I am sure Muslim country have high HIV effect than Christian

It isn't often that you come across a piece like this one which explores issues related to HIV in Sudan. The attitudes expressed by those interviewed are promising, and suggest that progress will be made in future, albeit slowly. It is concerning that there are only three voluntary testing and counseling centres in the country. Perhaps Sudan can draw on the experience of nations such as Kenya which have large networks of centres and relatively high levels of funding for HIV care.
