In the context of U.S. government policies and programs for combating HIV/AIDS domestically and internationally, a debate has resurfaced about the effectiveness of condoms in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV infection. Some recent U.S. government policies have begun to shift emphasis to the lackof condom effectiveness in educational materials and other publications and programs that receive federal funds. This shift has caused confusion in the general public about whether condoms should be used and promoted for preventing HIV infection.
