Rock out with your what out, Cuba?  Cuba Gooding Jr. does a very interesting impression of Allen Iverson’s famous “practice” rant.

Cuba Gooding Jr. visited SportsCenter on Thursday to promote his new movie, “Red Tails.”  Cuba was doing impressions of some sports figures.  he recreated the Herm Edwards, “Hello, you play to win the game,” rant.  Among other impressions, he also recreated Allen Iverson’s famous “practice” rant. 

Cuba got a little crazy with the ending of his Allen Iverson impression.  First, he took us to church when he randomly started yelling, “can I get an Amen?”  he also said, “Hallelujah, Jesus.”  then his impression took another turn.  Cuba started to say, “Rock out with your c*** out.”  he caught himself before it was a full-blown, easily-identifiable c-word.  Barely. 

This was the most random impression I’ve ever seen.  It started off well, then it got religious, and then it got non-religious.  I give props to Linda Cohn.  she didn’t miss a beat.  she did a great job of moving right past the near slip.  Great stuff.  ESPN should invite Cuba Gooding Jr. back to SportsCenter more often.

An estimated 22.5 million people are living with HIV in the part of African below the Sahara. This is a stunning statistic, around two-thirds of the global total. For instance, Ghana alone, there are approximately 260,000 people living with HIV/AIDS with 140,000 being women and 27000 being children. Ghana can count close to 160,000 orphans as a result of HIV/AIDS. In fact, Ghana is not among the worst hit countries; South Africa and Uganda for example, have worse numbers.

While this may sound like one of those statistics to some readers, but it is life and death to hundreds of families and institutions. The social and economic consequences of the AIDS epidemic are far and wide felt: in the African health sector, in education, industry, agriculture, human resources and the economy in general.

In terms of preventive or ‘prophylactic’ measures, the anti-HIV/AIDS campaign hitherto has riveted on promoting the use of the male condom. despite the many years of anti-HIV campaigns focusing on the use of the male condom, the results so far do not match the efforts put in.

Regrettably, however, in many communities in Africa, it is a severely stamina-testing exercise to convince some men embrace the use of the male condom. it is a complex issue that borders on tradition, religion and ignorance. This is compounded by the fact that in almost all cases, it is the man who cleaves to power in sexual relationships. Customarily, in the African ‘sexist society’, the man can choose to have multiple wives or one wife with multiple sexual partners. a woman who practices such a modus vivendi is referred to as a prostitute. it is unfair and effluvium for the party who wields the power to also decide on the means of protection in sexual relationships. I regard it a woman’s right issue to guarantee that women have the wherewithal to protect themselves in sexual relations.

But what is wrong with the male condom?

The campaign to promote the male condom has been going on for decades with some progress. nevertheless, such progress does not well correlate with the efforts that have been expended. Some of the pretexts some African men put forward in opposition to the use of condoms include the following:

1. Condoms diminish pleasure or enjoyment of sex
2. Condoms ruins the mood
3. You cannot feel anything while wearing a condom
4. if a women loves a man, then she you should just trust him
5. In order for sex to be real, flesh must come into contact with flesh (of course, condoms make this pre-requisite unattainable)

• Some even think it is sin to use the condoms during sex

For these reasons, I advocate that future anti-HIV campaigns adjust the current model and focus more on promoting the use of the female condom. The female condom should be promoted as an alternative to the male condom and should be available to all sexually active women. I believe that there should be a sharpened campaign to give credence to the female condom in African communities until it ultimately becomes a mainstream accessory in the woman’s purse.

In my next article, I will discuss the role governments, non-governmental organization and charities can play in promoting and making the female condom available to sexually active African women. In the mean you can read more about the female condom on my blog.

The Female Condom Should Be The Focus of Anti-HIV Campaigns
