Harvard Aids expert says Pope "correct" on condoms and spread of HIV -Times Online

"Harvard Aids expert says Pope 'correct' on condoms and spread of HIV
The head of Harvard's Aids Prevention Centre says condom use does not lower HIV infection rates

The head of a Harvard-based AIDs prevention centre says the Pope is “correct” to claim that condom distribution risks aggravating the transmission of HIV.

Last week Benedict XVI incurred the wrath of AIDs campaigners and criticism from the Governments of France and Germany for saying, en route to Africa, that AIDS could not “be overcome by the distribution of condoms.” In comments condemned as 'scary' and 'alienating' by members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Benedict XVI lauded monogamy as a way to combat the spread of AIDs. He said that condom distribution risked exaggerating the spread of the virus."
