How would contraception help the spread of AIDS amongst monogamous
married couples who waited until married to have sex? If the couple
is having sex under different circumstances, they are already in
violation of church doctrine. Why would these sinners suddenly turn
to the church when it comes time to decide whether to use a condom?

It is true that a reversal of position on contraception would have very
little immediate effect on habits. In the long run, however, it would
contribute to social policy (availability, government programs), and to
habits as well. The church's opposition to contraceptive devices
definitely enables laziness, and promotes the spread of AIDS.

Even condoms have a failure rate. Doesn't the Church actively promote
abstinance among the unmarried? I seem to remember them viewing unmarried
sex as immoral. Seems like that would help even more!
Monogamous couples not engaged in other 'immoral' activities, such as IV
drug use, have a very low risk of AIDS. With or without a condom.
Seems as if following party line here would eliminate almost all spread.
