OBJECTIVES: (i) To determine the accessibility of Condom in developing countries and analyse the main courses of still a high infection rate of STD/HIV in the Ugandan youth (ii) To assess the effectiveness of Condom describing factors and circumstances which favor or disfavor condom use especially in low developing countries like Uganda. METHOD: The infection rate of STD/HIV has increased from 23% to 44% (UNAIDS). 30 Makerere University students have died in the year 1996-1997. Behavior change workshops are conducted by the SYFA (Safe Guard the Youth From AIDs), Youth alive club and the Philly Lutaaya initiative. These have contradiction view of condom. RESULTS: The youth are confused between nature and condom. They wonder how they can control nature yet in the meantime the infection rate is raising. Religion and African culture are not in condom favor. CONCLUSION: Condom use is still a mystery. There is improper use and unaffordableness by majority. Female condom is so expensive. Behavior change programs should therefore be given priority. Human beings should stop immorality, and should be able to control nature.
