The work of the catholic church in africa isn't restricted to just catholics. The catholic church runs countless aids awareness and treatment programs throughout the continent, where the vast majority of those treated are not catholics.

Also, your links prove absolutely nothing other than the poorest countries have the highest per capita rates of aids, a statement which isn't exactly groundbreaking. Also, the data in your links points to the contrary of the point you're trying to make in regards to catholic 'lifestyle' having a positive impact on the transmission rates of HIV/AIDS. France, a country with roughly 90 percent of the population being Roman Catholic, is in the middle of the pack, while other predominantly catholic countries like El Salvador and Brazil are even higher.
