but there is a reason for this right - cos we all know that bit in the bible that says you cant use condoms (commandment 17 i think)... or did jesus say this at some point i just cant remember now.

The Vatican isn't telling people to have unsafe extramarital sex. Someone who listens to the pope, and whose partner does so too, is quite unlikely to catch HIV.
The Vatican isn't helping things by discouraging the use of condoms, but the truth of the matter is that people who have condomless extramarital sex stopped listening to the Vatican the moment they decided to have extramarital sex. It's simply ridiculous to believe that the Vatican is responsible for the way in which people do something the Catholic Church completely forbids them to do in the first place.
Of course, the disinformation spread by the Church about condoms is another matter entirely - the pope should be dragged out of the Vatican and shot for telling people that condoms do not protect against HIV.
