Spain with an annual AIDS incidence of 3.3 100 000 has the second highest rate among industrialized countries while Australia was well down the ranking with an incidence only one tenth that of the United States at 1.5 100 000 1 . The pragmatic Japanese were stunned to learn that the high AIDS incidence in the United States was no accident abstinence-only rather than explicit peer-based sex education and tokenistic rather than early and vigorous needle syringe programmes have produced the expected public .
