ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
The virus HIV that causes AIDS is smaller than the voids in condoms. In order to prevent acquiring HIV you must fill the voids with a lubricant or substance that will prevent passage through the voids.
From the second link below:
Latex condoms are “double‑dipped,” meaning that all or most of the voids left from the first layer will be filled by the second. Repeated SEM (scanning electron microscope) photos of stretched condoms show no apparent voids, even at a magnification of 2,000X.
Once again, this fact is irrelevant in light of the fact that, as shown above, a large percentage of condoms that have passed the standard water leak text do indeed leak HIV-sized particles.

Condoms are surely better than nothing for the normal sex act. But if I were a male HIV/AIDS affected person, I would certainly not perform any sex act on anyone, male or female, unless I really hoped I could infect them as well and perhaps result in their death some day.
By the way, that can be construed as attempted homicide and result in three meals a day and a roof over the head for many years in your average Federal prison.
AIDS is nothing to be taken lightly. It is easily passed from one human to another no matter what gender.
I would treat a known AIDS infected person with just about the same restrictions as if that person was a leper as far as being sexually familiar with that person.

I think I would hesitate even with a condom. On the other hand, a woman is 20 times as likely to get infected than a man (with ANY STD) IF he washes himself after s*x (which he should anyway for cleanliness sake). Not to forget, the man gives something, the woman receives. That really skews the odds.

Condoms are 99.96% effective if used correctly. The only 100% protection from AIDS/HIV or any other STD id abstinence. Condoms can easily break, or have a manufacturing defect and have a small hole or tear in them.

The proper and consistent use of latex condoms when engaging in sexual intercourse--vaginal, anal, or oral--can greatly reduce a person's risk of acquiring or transmitting STDs, including HIV infection. In fact, recent studies provide compelling evidence that latex condoms are highly effective in protecting against HIV infection when used properly for every act of intercourse.

Latex condoms only. Sheep skin condoms and others have pores or very small holes that let the virus pass through.

Condom is spelled without an 'e', and the correct spelling is, 'enough'..learn to spell. How old are you? Sheesh, I don't think your ready for sex if you don't know the answer to that...
