Conservative science, which is a procedure for discovering accurate facts about reality.
How many out of 650 or so were exposed to HIV during the study period? If it’s 600, and none of them has contracted the virus (after a suitable waiting period), then it seems this is a very successful prevention regimen.

Ask a question. Hypothesize an answer. Design and conduct an experiment. Evaluate the results. Repeat. SCIENCE.
