I think maybe Mr. Pope should read the instructions on his condoms.
No, he understands better than you do the cultural fallout of condom distribution. You can tell kids to abstain and live a monogamous example or you can pass out condoms to them on the corner. Two very different messages with two very different cultural results.
One of these societies will have more sleeping around than the other. Which means they WILL have more AIDS, because, speaking from experience, sex without condoms is definitely more fun than with condoms. And bear in mind the "to-use-or-not-to-use decision" is usually made when people are, to be direct, half out of their minds.
Plus they break.
humblegunner needs to learn that condoms are porous; that means they have holes in them, and those holes are large enough for HIV to pass through.
