But Church teaching is that you shouldn't have sex at all except in a monogamous relationship with a life partner... it isn't that you should have sex with multiple people and just not wear a condom when you do it lol.
Saving sex for monogamous life long relationships would, in fact, help bring down AIDS if it was actually followed. So it's not that AIDS continued to spread because they were following Church teaching, it continued to spread because they weren't.
There's church teachings, there's human nature and there's male pride. Especially in the more paternalistic societies.
If abstinence only doesn't work in a developed country like the US, why would you think, it works in other regions of the world. Regardless of anyone's moral standpoint, a comprehensive and responsible sex education (which abstinence only isn't) can ultimately save lives. And in it's absence, it can cost lives.
