You think a spouse has to expose themselves to the risk of death in order to fulfill the marital relationship? In some cases, these women HAVE NO CHOICE.

What incredible foolishness. Married couples in which one spouse is HIV+ should live continently. Don't tell me continence is impossible. Lack of sex has never killed anyone.

If you're telling me the HIV- wives are willing to be continent, but their husbands are forcing themselves on them, then the wives should leave. For an HIV+ man to force his wife to have relations constitutes serious spousal abuse, with or without a condom.

Perhaps it's not so easy to do that, in some cultures. She may be condemning herself to a life of ostracism and starvation.

We're not talking about a "contraceptive" mentality here, Campion. This is about life and death.
