To the dismay of the World Health Organization, the Vatican is claiming that condoms don't stop Aids:
The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.
The church is making the claims across four continents despite a widespread scientific consensus that condoms are impermeable to the HIV virus.
A senior Vatican spokesman backs the claims about permeable condoms, despite assurances by the World Health Organisation that they are untrue.
True or untrue--would you have even 'protected' intercourse with someone you knew to have HIV? Then why would anyone be willing to risk infection when you don't know one way or the other?
