I have raised this question again simply because I feel there is a need to reinform people on this one.
I am a PhD scientist and I can tell you for certain that it has been proven that condoms do not prevent the contraction of HIV/AIDs. The virus is actually smaller than the latex barrier. I was so horrified when I learnt of this fact that I have been doing my best ever since to try and warn people that would otherwise not put their lives in danger if they realized this.
A study carried out at University of Miami Medical School which used live couples to test HIV transmission found "that 3 out of 10 women whose husbands are HIV positive and were always using a fresh condom for each intercourse, contracted AIDS Related Complexes (ARC) in an 18-month period". This translates into an infection rate of 11.2 per cent first year, 21 per cent in 2 years, 30 per cent in 3 years, 45 per cent in 5 years and 70 per cent in 10 years.
