   a new condom for each act of sexual intercourse.  Do not throw condoms   
   in the toilet after use, as they may clog plumbing.  Throw them in the   
   trash.   
      
   The Female condoms reportedly offers even greater protection against   
   HIV.  While more expensive, it can be inserted up to 8 hours before   
   intercourse.  However, it is reportedly 3% less effective at reducing   
   pregnancy.   
      
   The risk of having an unwanted baby if regular condoms and birth   
   control are used together is .02x.005= .0001; 1 in 10,000, per year If   
   the female condom is used, the risk is: .05 x .005 = .00025, 5 in   
   20,000, or 1 in 4,000 per year.   
      
   The risk of dying in a car accident may be about the same,   
   40,000/300,000,000 = or 1.3 in 10,000 or 1 in 7,500.  If the risk of   
   dying in a car accident was a little less risky, the risk of dying in a   
   car accident would be 30,000/300,000,000 = 1 in 10,000.   
      
   I think this analysis, while not perfect, is good enough to indicate   
   that having vaginal sex _with_ condoms makes the risk of contracting   
   HIV no more likely than the risk of dying in a car accident.   
      
   I also think, that analysis indicates, that having vaginal sex while   
   using condoms and birth control concurrently, makes the risk of being   
   accidentally impregnated no more likely than the risk of dying in a car   
   accident.

   Also, when comparing heterosexuals to homosexuals, a much higher   
   percentage of homosexuals have HIV, thus women who sleep with   
   homosexual men are putting themselves at a greater risk of HIV, and men   
   who sleep with these women are also putting themselves at a greater   
   risk of HIV.  So I would avoid these women and tell your chicks not to   
   do gay guys.  I do suppose the trade off for homos is they don't have   
   to worry about pregnancy.
