Stick to one partner! Botswanaâs war cry in the fight against HIV/AIDS has evolved into a gold standard for a committed and safe relationship.
As Botswana grappled with HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, a plethora of education campaigns as well as public policy encouraged citizens to engage in sexual intercourse only in monogamous relationships.
Now many years later, suggesting the use of a condom in a committed relationship insinuates lack of trust and is considered bad form.
In fact, most Batswana in committed relationships cannot use condom and monogamy in one sentence, unless they say a monogamous relationship does not need a condom.
