The Catholic church will have you believe that that the only prevention method is abstinence - which really hasn't helped the African continent in curbing their HIV infection rate (some statistics show that as much of 60% of the populace are HIV positive).<p>The Church isn't guilty on its own by dissuading the use of condoms - there is a whole lot of cultural stigma attached to the use of condoms too but it sickens me that an organisation that spearheads other great humanitarian efforts can be so blind about this issue.<p>Earth to Church: People have it off.
