NOTHING except for abstinence is 100% effective in spreading AIDS, but it is extremely effective in preventing the spread of the disease...

A little off tangent on the STD discussion, but I just have to point out that even abstinence isn't 100% effective in keeping HIV from spreading, although in terms of sexual contact, you're right. There's always the possibility of blood transfusions, infected needles, etc that can increase the chance of contracting HIV. And I don't know about the rest of you, but the idea that HIV can be contracted that way is much scarier than contracting through sexual activity, considering I (and hopefully most people) have that thought in mind when engaging in any sort of sex, whereas, I don't constantly think that there could be a possibility that I could accidentally come in contact with infection intravenously... scary stuff...
