Because there has been a lot of infections that could have been prevented,\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"But I think it is taking us forward, I think we should welcome it, I think it is very liberal of the Catholics. I hope the others will follow suit,\" said Khumalo.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter the news conference, Shelia Tlou, Regional Director for UNAIDS, welcomed the Pope's statement and hoped that it would have a positive impact on HIV levels in the Southern African region.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Catholics consider the Pope infallible he can not err in what is teaching, that way they can be able to use condoms and I can see further decline in that, in the AIDS  (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) epidemic,\" said Tlou.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, some were more cautious towards the news.\u003cbr/\u003eMark Heywood of the South African National AIDS Council said the Pope now needs to go further with his message.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We need the Pope not just condone condom use, but we need the Pope to accept and promote condom use, in certain circumstances. The ambiguity may not help us,\" said Heywood.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd even at the Holy Trinity, a catholic church in downtown Johannesburg, there was an admission the Pope's message could have come sooner.\u003cbr/\u003e\"There is a sense in which this pandemic has really overwhelmed us and it would have been wonderful if we had done all sorts of things that we were not able to do, so let's hope that it's not too late to take this on board,\" said Jesuit Priest Chris Chatteris.\u003cbr/\u003eWorldwide, 33 (m) million people live with HIV.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict said, in a book released Tuesday, that condom use by people such as male prostitutes was a lesser evil since it indicated they were moving toward a more moral and responsible sexuality by aiming to protect their partner from a deadly infection.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Tuesday, the Vatican expanded the comments to include women.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict received a copy of the book \"Light of the World\" during an audience on Tuesday with the author, Peter Seewald, who conducted several hour-long interviews with the pontiff last summer.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pope's comments in the book implied that he was referring primarily to homosexual sex, when condoms aren't being used as a form of contraception.\u003cbr/\u003eQuestions arose immediately about the pope's intent, though, because the Italian translation of the book used the feminine for prostitute, whereas the original German used the masculine.\u003cbr/\u003eThe clarification is significant.\u003cbr/\u003eUNAIDS estimates that 22.4 (m) million people in Africa are infected with HIV, and that 54 percent - or 12.1 million - are women.\u003cbr/\u003eHeterosexual transmission of HIV and multiple, heterosexual, partners are believed to be a major cause of the high infection rate in Africa.\u003cbr/\u003eJohannesburg, South Africa - 23 November 2010\u003cbr/\u003e1.
