Condoms and sexually-transmitted infections

Steiner, Markus J., Cates, Willard·2006·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Polarization of opinion about condoms may finally be starting to abate, as scientific evidence mounts that their use can reduce the risk of most sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In the past, proponents of condom use were often pitted against those arguing that the best way to ensure 100 percent protection against sexually transmitted infections was to abstain from sexual intercourse until marriage and then to refrain from extramarital sex. Certainly, the latter approach would offer 100 percent protection if everyone adhered to it. Fortunately, common ground is now being reached, as it becomes clearer that . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
