Political leadership is crucial in the global fight against HIV+AIDS. Brazil is leading by example.

The Huffington Post reports that "Brazilian health officials have kicked off an AIDS awareness campaign and will hand out 55 million condoms during the annual Carnival festival that begins next week."

Brazil's good example contrasts sharply with the country most affected by HIV+AIDS - South Africa.

Earlier, I condemned South Africa's President Jacob Zuma for fathering his twentieth child out of wedlock.

Obviously, Mr. Zuma didn't use a condom, putting his wives at risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

Way to go, Brazil!
