Now now guys, we all know the Pope is infallible so let's run the numbers:

1 in 1,000: Chance to contract aids during unprotected vaginal sex

6 in 100: Chance of contracting aids with a condom (relative to unprotected)

So, let's say we have a population of 1,000,000 HIV positives getting busy with non infected partners.

You could expect:

1,000 New cases of HIV if they all have unprotected sex.

60 New cases of HIV if they all use condoms.

So in order for the popes claim to work, enough couples need to choose abstinence over sex simply because they do not have access to a condom.

We can only have 60,000 couples having unprotected sex or we get more cases of HIV, so that implies that out of our original 1,000,000 couples ~940,000 of them must opt out of sex due to not having a condom.

Sure, that makes sense.
