The belief that Western governments are using condoms to spread AIDS is fairly widespread in Africa (although I don't know how common it is).
It is not as common a belief as the belief that condoms are an instrument of the west to curb the population of Africans.
After all, it is utterly rediculous to think that condoms could be used to spread AIDS among the Africans. We all know that only gay people can be infected with HIV. If you're straight, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Disclaimer:
Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
