Re:New HIV vaccine with a 97% antibody response rate in phas... by foldr on Tuesday April 06, 2021 @05:47AM (#26709959)
If you look at the link below, you’ll see that the 70% figure comes from a study of repeated sex over time (with self-reported condom usage), and so can’t be applied to the figures for a single sex act. Preventing semen from coming in contact with the vagina/anus will reduce transmission risk to effectively zero, and condoms don’t break all that often.

Correct condom use will make you as an individual much safer. But as a public health strategy, telling people to use condoms has a significant but limited effect.
