Are married people in Africa or South America not allowed to have sex without the fear of conceiving a child they can not afford?

Yes, they are. But the Vatican only allows them to use the "safe days" to control the size of their family.

<>i>HIV prevalence peaked at over 30% and until recently has been much higher than that in some areas.

A report just off the press states that 56% of the 25-29 years age group in Swaziland are HIV positive.

tejek,

re:There were several different issues in that one paragraph. Apparently, you become confused.

Thanks for not puking every thought you have into a single paragraph - I'm no english major, but you're no writer either.

Suffice to say the Pope's position is all sex outside marriage is a sin - offering advice on how to "sin safely" is not going to happen without a long fight within the Church itself.

As for AIDS victims and assistance NGO's aka Christan Churches are one of the biggest sources of help AIDS victims have available to them worldwide.

They are also urged: "..Not to walk tantalizingly, with the intention of revealing their beauty…” (An-Nur: 31).
