You have to understand how the media works. Panic sells, baby! Any story you read, especially medical stories, you have to really scrutinize the info. Potential cure for cancer? Potentially not, too. Possibility of a new flu strain? Possibly of misinterpreted data as well. Condoms are not a 100% guarantee against anything, pregnancy or sexually transmissive disease. When used correctly, every single time, they are much better than nothing though. You can be completely safe from HIV by keeping your legs crossed, as it were, and not engaging in any activity where there is a potential to swap body fluids. Anything else is a calculated risk, even if the calculated risk is very small when you take the proper precautions.
