"Condom use did not have, within these statistics, any influence on the risk of contamination."
In 1987, Padian (xciii), having studied over one year the rate of HIV seroconversion in a group of 97 women, sexual partners of 93 HIV-infected males, found that the risk of contamination was basically a function of the number of partners and of the number of sexual acts with an infected partner (increased risk of 4.6 for more than 100 sexual acts).
Condom use did not have, within these statistics, any influence on the risk of contamination.

"no evidence that more condoms leads to less AIDS"
"20 years into the pandemic there is no evidence that more condoms leads to less AIDS," stated Dr. Edward C. Green of Harvard's' Center for Population and Development Studies.
Citing data on condom availability in many African counties, Green went on to say that "we are not seeing what we expected: that higher levels of condom availability result in lower HIV prevalence."
Dr. Norman Hearst of the University of California — San Francisco supported this analysis with statistics on Kenya, Botswana, and other countries, which show an increasingly alarming pattern of increased condom sale correlation with rising HIV prevalence by year.
