In a country of 6 million that is the hemisphere's poorest, an American-supported Haitian campaign against AIDS has moved beyond getting people to ask questions about the risk of disease and helped make condom use commonplace. Within a year, the program has gone from selling about 40,000 condoms a month to nearly half a million. The story of condom use in Haiti, experts say, is one of careful attention to local psychology and culture. Equally important, they say, has been the subsidized price, currently about 3 cents each. In Haiti, despite infection rates that are thought to approach 10% in urban areas, there has been strong resistance to belief in the threat posed by AIDS.
