From the Jakarta Post Newspaper, June 23, 1999


"Dr. John Chittick is an unlikely foot soldier in the global war on AIDS. Literally. A short, roly-poly figure with a mop of graying hair, he bears more resemblance to an overgrown schoolboy than a man whose declared mission is to spread the word about the disease. His fighting fatigues are gaudy Hawaiian shirts which lend him a benign, almost comical appearance and, he believes, puts those he meets immediately at ease during his "information" walks in far-flung cities of the world.

"His battle cry, a softly delivered but fervent warning on the dangers of the epidemic, includes the directive "No sex [=] No AIDS." And his target is the world's teenagers, who he contends are the greatest risk of contracting the disease as they venture into experimentation with drugs and sex."
