"Just in case the establishment is correct" is a piss poor reason. I knew that this question was a trap, as if you didn't know that I knew.
So telling you that it's better to be safe than sorry is a trap? You did not have to respond to my plea. All I asked was that you keep it in mind so that you do not endanger yourself or others. Whether you take the advice or not is your decision and yours alone.
I've got to tell you, things have got to tip to where people are a lot more militant about protecting their basic rights against people who would have them jump through hoops "just in case we're right." The AIDS hoax is a huge shame. It is an attack against basic freedoms and anyone with brains can see just how far away it is from having the kind of certain evidence that it needs for people to even consider altering their lifestyles or taking toxic medications.
You might consider it to be a shame (or sham?). If you think using a condom goes against your "basic freedoms", then that is up to you.
However you must keep in mind that not everyone believes as you do and some do actually consider HIV and AIDS to be a dangerous illness. You should at the very least respect their stance by using protection. You should use protection anyway to guard yourself against any STD's regardless of your stance on HIV and AIDS.

Now does AZT affect one's DNA? I honestly couldn't tell you so I can't say yes or no at this point in time. Now lets not forget that I believe HIV does exist and does lead to AIDS. I also believe that in some patients, AZT has been effective in slowing down HIV. So its affects on the individuals DNA (if that is indeed the case) would have to be weighed against slowing down HIV and not having any children in the future (if it does affect the DNA). Like Thalidamide is now used to treat some medical conditions with the recommendations that the taker of the medication never ever fall pregnant,
if AZT is proven to affect one's DNA, then it should be given with the same guarrantees and warnings.
But so far, I have seen no proper research to say for a fact that your claims are indeed true, as AZT has been given to pregnant women with no detrimental effects to their offpsring. Simply, no one knows what the long term effects of AZT are on DNA and how it could affect children who's mother's were on AZT during their pregnancy. I won't deny that I simply don't know because I honestly do not. So fat to date, AZT has been found to reduce the risk of passing on HIV to the unborn child by 70%, but its long term effects cannot yet be determined.

So for me to say yes to your demand would be false as I honestly do not know at this point.
