Researchers Agree with Pope Benedict: Condoms Can Worsen the AIDS Pandemic in Africa
Pope Benedict XVI has been criticized for saying in a March 17, 2009 press interview that distribution of condoms will not overcome the AIDS epidemic in Africa but can make it worse. Yet as Harvard
researcher Edward C. Green (who spent 25 years promoting the use of condoms in Africa to combat AIDS), explains, condoms do not work and may be "exacerbating the problem" in Africa.
