In his first visit to Africa, Pope Benedict XVI said The AIDS can not be overcome by the distribution of condoms, which only exacerbates the problem..

The Pope's statement contradicts studies on prevention of AIDS and represents an enormous setback to decades of work in education and awareness. The Pope has a powerful moral influence on more than 1.1 billion Catholics worldwide, with 22 million infected with HIV in Africa, these words can dramatically affect the epidemic by putting millions of lives at risk. Sign our petition asking the Pope to support, rather than away methods proven effective for preventing AIDS.
