I honestly agree with what the Pope has said here.
I believe the AIDS epidemic is a dangerous enough issue that it should be addressed by every means possible. If some people listen to the Pope's reasoning, that's wonderful. If some people listen to other reasoning, GREAT! The end goal is the same: to educate. Either from a religious/spiritual perspective or another - at least people will be informed that raping virgins will not help.
