Ilaria Rubino, a recent PhD graduate from the department of chemical and materials engineering at the University of Alberta, said a mostly salt and water solution that coats the first or middle layer of the mask would dissolve droplets before they can penetrate the face covering.

it is amazing how we can have seat belt, speed limits, red lights, stop signs without infringing on people rights. it is about safety for all not one. i am sure people will speed, go through red lights and do bareback with sp. but somehow the news media have pick up the voice of those far right cases as news during COVID.
C'mon...anybody that know's anything know's that TERB is the most trusted news source around.
1) How would you know you haven't already done so? Do you test each condom before you put it on?
Or at intervals during sex to make sure it hasn't been compromised?
2) Even if i knew the condom could allow HIV to penetrate, i would still wear it as opposed to the only alternative being the less safe option of no condom at all.
An umbrella with a few miniscule holes that allows a few drops to drip through is far better than no umbrella at all. Obviously i'd use that umbrella rather than no protection whatsoever.
It's the logic, reason, evidence and common sense therein that is the "authority".
As opposed to nonsense, covidiocy, retardation, trolling, etc.
If the condom allowed the HIV to penetrate, I'd stop fucking everything that moves. That's what any reasonable person would do. Or become monogamous. The fact that you wouldn't, just makes me laugh.
You're missing the point. The comparison is between wearing a highly effective (but not 100% safe) mask or condom and not wearing one at all. Obviously you are a fool if you choose the less safe option of none at all.
BTW, you appear to be ignorant of safe sex options that can be just as safe, if not even more so, as wearing a condom.

"To bad with those numbers you missed a few important details. First, a virus needs to pass through all those layers without making contact with any fibres. Brownian motion of those small particles makes it very unlikely even ignoring the way that fibres are electostatically polarized to attract particles that would otherwise miss them). More importantly is transmission of covid seems to be primarily in aerosolized droplets which are much larger than 0.3 microns. Nothing is sillier than people who try to use science without having bothered looking into it."
