Certainly all men fall short of God's glory and we are forgiven and continue to be forgiven thru the body and blood of Christ's sacrifice +the sacrament of confession and the consequent sincere resolution to battle your demons/prompts of sin.With that, you'll need a complete overhaul of society and changes in human nature. It may sound terrific on paper (which I agree with), but it is quite improbable that every person will abstain before marriage.
Which leads into my two cents on the topic. Abstinence is only one brick in building a future without AIDS. Education is the concrete foundation required. That, and an ub3r 1337 vaccine wouldn't hurt either!
The catholic church is doing their best to help solve the problem. However, HIV is extremely deadly and I'd say the only way of curing it is a miracle
But yes this issue is complex. The whole African culture of corruption, violent tribalism, basic disrespect of women, weakness of civil/judicial authority is all to blame. It's a mammoth problem with no silver bullet!
