<DIV><FONT color=#008000>“The pope is correct,” Green told <EM>National Review
Online </EM>Wednesday, “or put it a better way, the best evidence we have
supports the pope’s comments. He stresses that “condoms have been proven
to <EM>not</EM><EM> </EM>be effective at the ‘level of population.’”
<BR><BR>“There is,” Green adds, “a consistent association shown by our best
studies, including the U.S.-funded ‘Demographic Health Surveys,’ between
greater availability and use of condoms and higher (not lower) HIV-infection
rates. This may be due in part to a phenomenon known as risk compensation,
meaning that when one uses a risk-reduction ‘technology’ such as condoms, one
often loses the benefit (reduction in risk) by ‘compensating’ or taking greater
chances than one would take without the risk-reduction technology.”</FONT></DIV>
