Nothing can multiply the infection rate other than an increase in exposure.
Junk science/junk analysis, a waste of our tax dollars.
To: wagglebee
Yet another reason why “abstinence until marriage and faithfulness within marriage” is the universal moral standard that all of mankind is ordered to follow.
If a person follows that standard, they will never get a STD, and that’s the least of it.

Wow. All these young girls who are sleeping around really are risking so much.

Yes, and if you could read between the lines of the "4x" figure you could put 2 and 2 together (hah!) and figure out that is what they are talking about. Hoes and playas who may use a condom but expose themselves far, far more than monogomous couples who don't use them. AND it's very likely that condoms don't prevent this just like they don't prevent HPV.
Oh wait - you're from South Texas. NEVER MIND. YOU MUST HAVE MISTYPED THE WEBSITE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

Hope you got plenty exercise jumping to conclusions there.
To: Red in Blue PA
Of course married couples use condoms too. But they don’t usually spread virus’s to each other at the rates being described.
I am questioning if China is manufacturing them and if they did wouldn’t they have similar quality problems that their other products have. I would not trust my life to something so unknown.

Nothing can multiply the infection rate other than an increase in exposure. Post 6 accounts for this possibility.
Cheers!

I don't buy it. Lack of controls invalidates the 'research'. I.E. garbage in=garbage out.
That was my point. :)
To: SouthTexas
OK. Apparently different aspects of the report stood out to each of us.
You were questioning the 4:1 ratio, and the lack of controls.
Completely legitimate.
I was concerned with the physical likelihood of a small bacterium passing through a condom.
As the Mythbusters might say, "Plausible."
Cheers!

Don’t kid yourself. Many married people cheat. And more often than you might realize.

Just to clarify, your *questioning* the study is completely legitimate, I agree with you completely on that point.
Cheers!

And I have no problem with your conclusions on the size of the bacteria and it may be past "plausible", almost confirmed, but they didn't bother reporting on something that may actually be of benefit to anyone.
Not that the other comments regarding morals are not dead on too, it's just IMO the whole thing is bogus from the git-go. ;)
