The Pope DOES promote AIDS in Africa by not enouraging contraception. The impoverished nations in Africa need contraception just as badly as they need food.

 

If there are people who actively spread AIDS around in Africa because they took the Pope that seriously, they are probably doing it wrong, because afaik the Pope supports monogamy too, and that would also stop the above AIDS spreading. 

I think you might have misunderstood me. Nobody is saying AIDS should be spread. My point was that people are going to have sex anyway and if you're trying to help them, as the Catholic Church does, you should not discourage use of contraception. That not only lessens the spread of AIDS but also helps control overpopulation.

Monogamy is not a 100% solution to the HIV/AIDS problem either. Although it is ideal, its unrealistic to expect everyone to adhere to.
