a lot of researches showed that condoms prevent infection. That is scientific evidence, isn't it?

"people say" vs. "test results" - it is always a great debate. It is the same like with oral - you will find a lot of peer reviews with "oral sex transmission" but no scientific data. You can believe whatever you like, but I will stick to the science.
