Or once a year? <BR/><BR/>And for couples, aren't we talking about <I>two</I> people and therefore, two person-years? If that's the case, then could one person-year mean that there was only one person having sex? What are the odds of catching HIV from exactly one partner, if that partner is yourself? Pretty minuscule, I'd bet and a clear case where using a condom would provide absolutely no reduction in the risk.<BR/><BR/>I can see the headlines now in Wingnut Daily: <B>Condoms provide absolutely no protection from HIV</B>*<BR/><BR/><BR/>* ...when used with no partners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-86944936661748664152008-06-17T07:47:00.000-04:002008-06-17T07:47:00.000-04:00Thanks for catching that!
