Combat AIDS with Indian culture, not condoms, says Dr Harsh Vardhan


Recommended Posts

Indians are mostly foolish idiots when it comes to sex ed. Ever wonder why europeans have ten times less aids prevalence than indians per capita but also have ten times more sexual partners ? The answer is simple: we should encourage safe sex, not discourage it. Monogamy will never ever be dominant in a society with disposable incomes and disposable income in india is rising. When you encourage safe sex then normal people have sex with people in their extended social circles. Prostitutes are far less prevalent in the west than in india due to this. The problem is not multiple sexual partners, problem is millions of indian guys having sex with prostitutes, which creates a disease bottleneck. As long as you encourage monogamy and pre-marital chastity, you will have this prostitute bottleneck acting as the gene pool for stds. We need to encourage normal people to have multiple sexual partners with normal people. That is how 90% of people I know have had 10+ partners and nobody has stds. The moral police is simply too dense to understand this simple dynamics. Sent from my GT-S5830D using Tapatalk 2

Maybe he should have said we Indians are oftem misunderstood,We are a cool and tolerant nation and culture and we love swingers,prostitutes and multiple partners at the same time,since we are so cool just promoting Condom usage will be enough to eliminate AIDS from the map of India :two_thumbs_up:
Actually all studies have proved that condoms are THE most effective way to stop AIDS spread. Human nature doesn't change no matter how much we pretend to be holier than other countries Secondly, the mandate of these guys are very clear, to promote health through condoms. They are not the custodians of morality or qualified to go around advising people on relationship. If the minister wants counseling, he should form his own team for that. Such ambiguity will only dilute the good work these guys have been doing nothing wrong with what he said overall, but he was not addressing a generic audience, he was addressing a team who were promoting condom use which is their job. Talking about generic things like relationship advise is stupid in this context.

^ Yes, condoms the most effective way, but in India most of the condom manufacturers use a cheap variety of polymers and latex for higer profit which creates numerous tiny holes. They have higher risk of failure. The quality control is non-existant.

His website says that sex education should be "banned" and yoga to be made "compulsory". http://www.drharshvardhan.com/drharshvardhan-views-on-education.aspx

Provide solutions on how to ensure condom manufacturers do not violate norms. But I guess that is to difficult than to do. It's very easy to talk about sanskaar, banning sex education and making yoga compulsory.

You don't have to create a quality dept for it, instead people shld have some ethics to provide good product. Every single shop walla is trying to steal from customers with duplicates, adultrated and expired goods. Here in coimbatore, every year the police is doing raids and burning tonnes of expired products from medical shops, yet these shopwallas never stop. Cities like Mumbai, Bangalore are even worse.

I've long since said that the top two priorities for the govt should be to build more infrastructure and invest more in the police and judiciary. QC is a lot better in the west not because they are more honest people but because their law is far better at enforcing fines and punitive damages Sent from my GT-S5830D using Tapatalk 2

Ok. This is now crossing the line. I was willing to take it till my online anonymous persona was in danger. Now they will tell me where to put my d*** and where not to. Next they will stop me from being a d***. Cause it's against "Indian culture".

A Conversation With Health Minister Harsh Vardhan
Your manifesto specially mentions promotion of traditional systems. You have yourself in the past spoken about the handicaps of modern medicine. Can you elaborate on that? A. I want a thorough promotion of AYUSH [Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy, all traditional systems of medicine]. We would like to develop a system of integration between the various systems because each one is complementary to the other. My view was that even if I am a modern system doctor, if there is a mechanism to gain some insight into what is naturopathy, what is Ayurveda, then it broadens my understanding. There is a huge potential for Ayurveda in this country. India has a glorious past in terms of medicine. Our scriptures are very powerful. I have read in the books that a lot of information like this was destroyed, deliberately. We faced the rule by others for almost a thousand years. We lost much of our literature and knowledge in that time.

That doesn't mean that you start talking about mythical sanskaar to "tackle" diseases like AIDS.
