Why is there is little attention paid to "Dry Sex" the mass custom and practice in Sub Saharan Africa that contributes more to HIV infection than anything else?

“Dry sex” worsens AIDS numbers in southern Africa
Dry, abrasive vaginas are seen as desirable in sexual intercourse in the vast majority of southern African cultures,...

Many men and women regard the smell of vaginal secretions as repulsive, the report says, plus they’re embarrassed by the noise of wet sex. Dry vaginas that are swollen with friction are also tighter; this pleases the men because it makes them feel larger. One common belief holds that loose, slippery vaginas are evidence of infidelity.

Dry sex promulgates HIV/AIDS in three ways: The lack of lubricant results in lacerations in the delicate membrane tissue, making it easier for the lethal virus to enter. In addition, the natural antiseptic lactobacilli that vaginal moisture contains aren’t available to combat sexually transmitted diseases. Finally, condoms break far more easily due to the increased friction.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)

KAMPALA, UGANDA - 1 Aug, 2017 - An African empowerment organization issued an open letter to UNICEF regarding its "Early infant male circumcision" program aimed at reducing HIV infections in Africa.

"Millions of children are left AIDS orphans. Now traditionally non-circumcising tribes are being forced to accept circumcision based on blatant lies." His conclusion is resolute: "We demand the banning of mass circumcision in Africa."

In a letter to The VMMC Experience Project, UNICEF responded that the opinions around its African infant circumcision program are "Mixed," but that the procedure will ultimately reduce the risk of HIV infection when the boys become sexually active.
