Is there a connection between HIV transmission and showering after sex?
If you are a recluse residing deep inside the Amazon forest, you may be unsure of the connection; however, if you were the former Vice President and the second highest in the political hierarchy of the largest economy in Africa, it is simply a catastrophic blunder to think that there is a connection between the two!
Yet, the former Vee Pee of South Africa and a political bigwig, Jacob Zuma believes that there is a connection!
In fact, he believes that taking a shower right after sex reducing chances of HIV transmission after sex, and he did took one after having sex with a women he very well knew to be HIV positive!
South African ex-Deputy President Jacob Zuma said he showered after sex with an HIV-positive woman, thinking this would reduce his risk of being infected. Mr. Zuma's testimony that he did not use a condom during the encounter, despite knowing the woman was HIV-positive, caused dismay among local AIDS activists.
Despite the myriad and sleuth of information on HIV/AIDS (South Afrcia has one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the world), it is shameful, despicable, laughable, and most unfortunate that that someone as exposed and high-up as Zuma would believe taking shower after sex reduces the chances of HIV transmission.
This statement reveals a lot about Zuma and the mentality of many African leaders, and its also indicative of why the continent is upside down and backwards because many of its leaders are Zuma-like.
How can men who risk their lives (like Zuma did) for transient ecstatic bliss of sex be trusted in any capacity at all?
Given this type of mentality it is a surprise that Mr. Zuma was fired for financial impropriety, and neither is it shocking that he is embroiled in a rape scandal. A man that would risk his life over frivolities can do anything.

Love, romance, innocence, intrigue, danger, and lust. Life is complicated, and love even more so. Life, and love, can be hazardous to a lady's health. Especially if she's fallen in love with a married pop star.
