In the study he cites, condoms prevented seroconversion over 99% of the time.
The rate of prevention in the NIH study (thanks for the link) attributable to condom use is 85%, not 99%.
Overall, Davis and Weller estimated that condoms provided an 85% reduction in HIV/AIDS transmission risk when infection rates were compared in always versus never users.
