In addition, and please feel free to correct me on this, someone did try and
explain the church's thinking on contraception to me in detail a few days
ago and I didn't grasp most of it, I think the Catholic Church is against
contraception because life is sacred (I did think it was mainly the sex is
for procreation thing but I was told that that actually isn't true so much,
which means either my RE teacher was confused or I was paying even less
attention than I thought) which makes no sense to me because the potential
life to be created is already in danger from AIDS in my scenario, as is its
mother and then the lives of the rest of the dependents in that family too
indirectly.

 
That's what my Catholic School taught me.  I mean there is Natural Family Planning that is practiced and condoned in Catholic circles as a means to prevent pregnancy however they don't see that as not "preventing the pregnancy" from taking place.  In other words, if I take a birth control pill what I am actually doing is preventing a egg from being fertilized.  If I am using a condom I am preventing sperm from entering.  
 
If I am using NFP I am not using anything but the time of the month to prevent a pregnancy.
