KristolIrving, “AIDS and False Innocence,”The Wall Street Journal, (Thursday, August 6, 1992), A 12. As to the safety of condoms, see the criticism of Janet Larkin in The Democrat and Chronicle. (Rochester, N.Y., Friday, August 26, 1992), 9A, where among other material facts she points out that “the AIDS virus is 1/25th the width of a sperm … that the smallest detectable hole in a condom is 1 micron and the AIDS virus is one-tenth the size of that hole … that among married couples using condoms when one spouse was HIV-positive, 17 percent of the uninfected spouses became infected within a year and a half … that when 800 sexologists were asked at a recent conference how many would trust a thin, rubber sheath for protection during sex with a person who has HIV, not one raised a hand.”
