Correct and consistent condom use is a HECK of a lot better than 85%.The NIH data don't support such a statement, so your beef is with the accuracy of the NIH data, not with Bozell's interpretation. Assuming the accuracy of the NIH data, Bozell correctly states that condoms failed to prevent HIV transmission 15% of the time. There's nothing even remotely deceptive about that.
A 1% transmission rate in the "always" group tells us that the risk of transmitting HIV in that group is 1%. A 7% transmission rate in the "never" group tells us that the risk of transmitting HIV in that group is 7%. Neither group by itself can tell us anything about the effectiveness of condoms. One can only assess the effectiveness of a condom by comparing the number of transmissions in the "always" group with the number of transmissions in the "never" group. Assuming the accuracy of the NIH data, condoms were only effective 85% of the time.
