Here's an example of how the anti-sex ed people like to lie to children. Latex is actually a weave, and thre are actually pores in latex condoms (you can see them under an electron microscope). IIRC, the pores are about 5 microns in size.
Now then, HIV is smaller than 5 microns, and therefore, according to the anti-sex ed people, it can go right through condoms. Now, the fact is that there is no known instance of transmission of HIV while using latex condoms properly (something that really needs to be kept in mind). Why is that? because HIV cannot move on its own. It is carried on larger molecules, molecules which cannot pass through the pores in latex. So while it's theoretically possible that HIV could go through due to size, it turns out that in the real world it's impossible. But these people would rather scare children into not using condoms.

I wonder what stereotype does that post refer to. I really do.
