"safer sex should be treated as sexual hygiene."
"complementing condom use by gargling, douching, and washing after sex, employing vinegar or other mild disinfectants that kill HIV. In a pinch, apply soap and water to intimate fluids that might carry germs. Equate AIDS-prevention with cleanliness."
"the advice about after-intercourse hygiene delivered most authoritatively in The Guide to Living with HIV Infection, by John G. Bartlett and Ann K. Finkbeiner, medical professionals associated with the well-regarded AIDS Clinic at Johns Hopkins University. Their own guidebook puts it this way: "Anyone who makes a mistake and has unprotected sex should use a vinegar douche as quickly as possible."
"Should a condom not be used during sexual intercourse. Or should one break or leak. Douching with a solution of vinegar and water can lessen risk or harm by reducing the amount of HIV left on penetrable skin-linings and susceptible cells. Using soap and water, vinegar, or some other mild disinfectant to wash a penis after intercourse can help keep HIV from reaching blood through any warts, sores, or skin breaks on it. Gargling with an HIV-killing disinfectant after oral sex can help prevent infection via the mouth."
