Russell Erik Johannesson asks:

> Has anyone else seen the recent reports stating that four out of the
  ten most popular condoms do not stop HIV...?

No, I haven't.  However, check the March 1989 issue of Consumer Report
magazine.  They tested latex condoms and rated them.  The testing methods
in addition to the ratings are discussed.  I did notice that Trojan,
which I always thought was a big seller, was absent from the list of
the top ten acceptable.

I'm citing the reference from memory; will correct it if it the month of
the issue is off.
