(Reuters) - The Vatican's top man on family issues defended his view Wednesday that the HIV/AIDS virus could be spread even if condoms were used but fellow cardinals distanced themselves from him. "Relying on condoms is like betting on your own death," Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, the president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family, told Reuters in an interview. He said the World Health Organization's (WHO) argument that condoms reduce risk of infection by 90 percent proves his point. . . .
