Abstract

A lot has been said, written and done about HIV/AIDS in Papua New Guinea. However, it seems that more or less, the ‘output’ is far less than the ‘input’. Some people claim that the stance and insistence of the Catholic Church on holiness and abstinence are doing more harm than good in the fight against the epidemic. This paper disagrees and tries to argue that the reverse is the case, and that the best approach will be a holistic, value-centred approach that will recognise, emphasize and contextualize our integral human sexuality.
