In remarks to schoolgirls in Nairobi last month, Kenyan first lady Lucy Kibaki spoke out against condoms. "I am not telling you to use condoms; I am not in favor of condoms," she said. "Those who are still in school have
no business having access to condoms. Those who are in university and are not married have no business having condoms in their halls of residence," Kibaki said. "Sex is not for people who are still in school."
Kibaki is chairperson of the 40-member Organization of African First Ladies Against HIV/AIDS. Her remarks are in sharp contrast to a Kenyan government campaign that seeks to promote condom use among youth
as a way to fight HIV transmission.
