To illustrate the political uses of technical truth we have chosen the Chilean example of two lines of argument in the area of HIV prevention, both using scientific arguments. The first, which is secular, is inspired by international medical organizations and advocates the use of condoms, while the second, of Catholic inspiration, promotes abstinence and fidelity. These two technical truths clash in a public controversy, the aim of which is not to establish scientific supremacy but to exert influence on public opinion and decision makers.
