It has also been established that the AIDS virus is smaller than the pores of latex condoms. Therefore, even "protected" sex is not "safe", not to mention the failure rate of condoms adding to the safety factor. Also there are other sex acts that male homosexuals perform other than anal sex that increases the likelihood of the spread of disease. I used to have a pamphlet explaining what homosexuals do and some of the "other" diseases that are spread by their practices. I don't remember now where I got it. A good place to ask might be Exodus International, a Christian group that promotes and helps homosexuals leave their homosexual lifestyle.

The real reason that public health authorities have promoted condom use (ever since C. Everett Koop did in the 1980s) is that if enough gay men use them, the rate of transmission of HIV might drop enough so that the AIDS epidemic would slowly burn out, or at least be contained. There is evidence that this strategy worked, at least for a time, as the 1980s generation of homosexual men did practice "safer" sex. (Now the younger generation of homosexual men are said to be less cautious, and HIV transmission rates are increasing again.)

The CDC does say, very plainly, in its guidelines for HIV prevention, that abstinence (or monogamy with an uninfected partner, i.e., marriage) is the only way to be completely sure you won't get HIV. Odd how the bottom line recommendations agree with what the Bible teaches.

The HIV virus has never been isolated.
