Reducing HIV/AIDS transmission among African-American females: is the female condom a solution?

Samatha Brown, Yolanda Wimberly.   

Abstract

Rates of HIV/AIDS have increased at an alarming rate among minority women, especially African-American women. Suggestions that have been presented to decrease HIV/AIDS transmission among African-American women include promoting abstinence and the use of the male condom. Little recognition and support have been given for promoting the female condom as a viable solution to combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
