How do you know that?

I do not remember where I heard or read this. But according to this website I was wrong.

Air does not "kill" HIV, but exposure to air dries the fluid that contains the virus, and that will destroy or break up much of the virus very quickly. The CDC reports that drying HIV reduces viral amount by 90-99% within several hours.

It should be noted that HIV can survive for several days in the small amount of blood that remains in a needle after use, because the blood is trapped where air cannot dry it out.

I can't imagine that they go through people's trash to collect used condoms. This wouldn't be very efficient.

Am I actually supposed to believe this?
I think I should
Just thought I would share although not many of us Ladies here

Well, if that's not gross, then I don't know what is. Thankfully I don't think I have any "Made in China" hair bands...

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the "Ladies". While I don't mind being called that (it's rather posh, isn't it? Kind of makes me think about castles and royalty and all that romantic stuff I've read so much about), I think my beard and low voice would kind of dismiss me from that category... and despite that I have plenty of use for hair bands

(Unless your intention was only to warn the Ladies and leave the hair-band-wearing-Gentlemen uninformed -- which wouldn't be very nice, at all )

P.S. Sorry for being mostly off-topic

while these hairbands may be fine on their own, i'm sure one can find even more styling options when used in conjunction with a spermicidal gel.

I don't know about anyone else here but I tend to not collect used condoms and send them off for recycling

Really? I do it all the time
