S. African bishop: Condoms tainted with AIDS
Head of church claims Europe is trying to kill off Africans by infecting
them

Updated: 5:12 p.m. MT Sept 26, 2007

MAPUTO, Mozambique - The head of the Catholic church in Mozambique said
on Wednesday he believed some European-made condoms were deliberately
tainted with the HIV/AIDS virus to kill African people.

“I know of two countries in Europe who are making condoms with (the)
virus on purpose, they want to finish with African people as part of
their program to colonize the continent,” Archbishop Francisco Chimoio
told Reuters.

“I also know some companies who are manufacturing anti-retroviral drugs
already infected with the virus, also in order to finish quickly the
African people,” Chimoio said.

He declined to name the European countries in question or the source of
his allegations.

More than 16 percent of Mozambique’s 19 million people, mostly
economically active adults aged between 14 and 49, are infected with
HIV/AIDS. About 500 infections are recorded every day, according to the
health department.

The story is completely preposterous.  HIV is quite fragile outside of
the body and would degrade into harmless nothing within a few hours;
it would be long gone before a condom could be shipped from Europe to
Africa, even if you FedEx'ed them.

The issue here is not about whether condoms are tainted with the HIV
virus or not.  The issue here is about the inherent pinholes in normal
latex condoms!  The sizes of such pinholes range from 5 to 70 microns
in diameter and they are bigger than the size of HIV which is 0.1
micron (almost 50 to 700 times bigger!).  Many have claimed that
condoms are electronically tested.  However, normal latex is sensitive
to heat and cold and pinholes will developed.  The main reason is that
condoms are not transported in climate controlled vehicles or stored
in optimum temperatures!  Please refer to clic-care.com for further
information.  You will be surprised..

To some degree, perhaps.  But the sizes of the holes vs the virus is a
largely a red herring -- the virus needs to somehow be forced through
the hole, which isn't easy due to the surface tension of the fluid in
which it's suspended, etc.

This is not to say there's not room for improvement, but condoms are
very effective at preventing HIV transmission.  OK, they aren't
perfect, but that's not an excuse to just write them off as useless,
either.  They most assuredly aren't useless.

Surprised to find it's an ad?

The person you are answering is a known kook and troll.  You can
pretty much figure anything he/she/it says is false.  SADAM (known by
that acronym in rec.autos.driving) has been known to use 'nyms of all
genders.
