Re: how to define 'evil'
If you get AIDS, it's your own fault, sayeth Wojtyla, it's your own damned fault. Never mind that it's the women who are the ones who are getting infected most. Never mind that monogamy only works when both partners are practicing it and she can remain monogamous all she wants but she's still going to get infected from his screwing around. It's her fault. She "violated the authentically human sense of sexuality."
That may have been his position, I don't know, but that isn't what your quote says. The quote says that it would be immoral to prevent yourself getting HIV by violating 'the authentically human sense of sexuality', actually it says that it would be wrong to champion such an action but obviously that would be because the action itself is sinful.
So your infectee is still OK with God at least, whereas if she had used a condom she would have been sinning.
Your quote certainly doesn't back up the claim that the Pope's attitude was that it was 'your own damn fault'.
