I just thought it was a strange example to use. If you go along with the church's view that prostitution is a moral sin, then saying they should use a condom to make it less bad is kind of like saying a murderer should kill his victims in a humane way and that this would be the first step on the road to taking moral responsibility as they put it.

Obviously using the condom would have the benefit of preventing the risk of aids, I just don't think it fits into his example since the issue with aids is not a direct part of the moral issue. I mean, people generally don't set out to give people aids when they have unprotected sex, so wearing a condom has nothing to do with the morality of the act. It's more a case of being unaware of the dangers in most cases I would think.

So I wasn't meaning to troll, I was just having a sasaki moment in being ridiculously rigid in my interpretation of things and being a bit of a stickler for 100% correctness in setting the parameters for the discussion or something. You know I don't even know what I am talking about right now, too many long days of late.
