Its a common myth that it does but it doesn't. The virus is small enough to seep through the latex and bam you get the virus. Hey but it does cut down on the risk a little but is that really good enough for you? I wouldn't do it if I knew the guy/girl could have HIV.

The only thing that is 100% guaranteed is abstinence. However, latex is the closest thing you will get to decreasing risk of transmission. It is still possible because they can break.
