The Pope has the HIV...all wrong.

Recently the Pope spoke in Africa saying that the Aids crisis in Africa will not be solved with condoms, and that the people need to practice abstinence instead. 

While I agree that practicing abstinence is a surefire way to not get a sexually transmitted disease, by definition, it might not be the best way.

Condoms, while not religiously acceptable, apparently, they are a fairly effective way to stop the spread of HIV and AIDs, and for cultures used to having sex, it is a better way to stop HIV and AIDs. Thats just me, though.
