There have been fundies in the US spreading the same "condoms don't stop AIDS" canard for a while now. It scares the crap out of them that a few simple precautions can help people retain the overwhelming majority of enjoyment that comes with sexual activity while reducing the risk to something that's within most peoples' risk management envelope.

I'd say the main danger with condoms is in forgetting to use them, and/or the condom falling off or breaking during intercourse.
