I can't find a whole lot more on the subject either, except for several articles on some African bishops' position on it (which matches that of this article) and the general stances of the Catholic church. I do find that many sites say things that imply that, even if the church itself isn't saying condoms are laced with HIV or anything like that, they are saying that they're much less useful than we believe they are. I found several articles on this from a liberal point of view, but I went looking for a conservative one and found this:

Now, Focus on the Family is about as right-wing as you can get. And they say basically that all the church is saying is that condoms don't really work as well as you think they do - which is pretty much the same thing as this article claims. The Vatican website just says they oppose condom use, even in cases where HIV is involved, because if a person is infected they just shouldn't have sex, basically.
Not that I'm arguing, I too was frustrated with the lack of other information on this. But I suspect that though the article may be biased, it's not at all far from wrong.
