I would think the low amount of HIV in the country can be directly correlated with the low amount of chances for HIV to be introduced into the community.
I guess I am not seeing what these conservative traditional family values are that are keeping Japan HIV rates low.
Japan has a HIV rate of 0.1%, compared to America's 0.6%. I would hardly say Japan is 6x more sexually conservative than America is. That's a hard argument to make, I think.
