Arab religious leaders debated methods to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS - a usually taboo subject in much of the conservative Arab world - but stopped short of recommending contraceptives.

More than 80 religious leaders, both Muslim and Christian, met at a UN-sponsored conference on HIV/AIDS and acknowledged ``the medical call for the use of different preventive means,'' but would neither name nor endorse the use of contraceptives that the United Nations recommends as a means to cut infection rates.

``It is not that easy to challenge centuries of certain positions,'' said Khadija Moalla, an official with the UN Development Program who focuses on the Arab world.

If Bush had his way, that would be the US AIDS policy as well.
