“The increasing availability of AIDS drugs in Africa, where the disease has taken its greatest toll, is welcome. … Two recent developments offer hope that barriers between organizations fighting AIDS might be breaking down. One is the report from the Vatican that a papal specialist on health affairs is preparing a paper on the question of whether the Roman Catholic Church should ease its prohibition on condoms to make an exception in the case of married couples in which one person is infected with the virus and the other is not. A less publicized event was a meeting organized by Physicians for Human Rights last week in Washington of about 15 evangelical health professionals who have worked on AIDS both in the United States and overseas.” (04/29/06)
