The Catholic Church had to drag itself into the 21st century with regard to evolution so I suppose changing it's mind on condoms was inevitable.
The Catholic Church never placed Charles Darwin on the Index, his grandpa Erasmus was for something similar I grant that, and even the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia does not condemn all evolution as such.
Humani Generis in 1950 is basically neutral on evolution or indicates you may believe or disbelieve it, but be cautious. Pius XII also accepted the Big Bang theory before some physicists did, although possibly for "the wrong reasons." So I'm not entirely sure what you mean unless you are referring to things from before WWI or that neutrality is as blameworthy as rejection.
Not to mention that in the early days at least 10% was spread through blood transfusions. Better lab controls have made that unlikely today but it was a strong contributor.

In the U.S., nearly half of the people living with HIV are men who have sex with men. (48%) Yet that population probably makes up less than 5% of the population.
Men who have sex with men are catching HIV at the rate of 44X that of straight men or women.
“Based on an analysis of nationally representative surveys, CDC estimated that MSM [men who have sex with men] comprise 2.0 percent (range: 1.4-2.7 percent) of the overall U.S. population aged 13 and older, or 4 percent of the U.S. male population (range 2.8-5.3 percent),” says the summary statement. It says the analysis found that the range of new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 MSM was 522 to 989. By comparison, newly diagnosed HIV cases came to just 12 per 100,000 for other men and 13 per 100,000 for women. For syphilis, the range of newly diagnosed cases for MSM was 91 to 173 cases per 100,000 compared to 2 per 100,000 for other men and 1 per 100,000 for women.
Sure! I have an 18 year old son. The 43 year old divorcee living next door is teaching him many good erotic things.
