Jerry, George, and Elaine use condoms, and Kramer's metabolism is sufficiently different from that of an ordinary human that he is not susceptible to AIDS.

Where are you from? Is it nice there?

George hates condoms. He can't open the packages quickly enough. "It's too late". Elaine is a spongeswoman.

You know this!

You're probably right about Kramer though...

Here's a thought: They are just pretending to have sex. After all it's only a t.v. show, and although they don't actually show it, maybe their CHARACTERS are using condoms =)

Not likely, Elaine only goes with straight, non-IV-drug guys, while a man can't really contract AIDS from heterosexual contact. Also, Elaine is pretty abstinent now that she only has 59 sponges to last the rest of her life, and she's pretty particular about who she spends them on.

Wow, if you really believe that, you are living in a fairy tale. Let's hope your dose of reality, when you finally get it, isn't fatal.

I think she's probably used up a few more over the past few seasons. And I don't think the sponge protects against disease.

Elaine: "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things"

I had a public health professional tell me that the probability of a man getting HIV from an infected woman, in one encounter, was 1 in 4000. Now, that is not perfect, but to me that borders on nearly impossible. Risk it? No way! But facts are facts.

"A pretty woman, you know, kinda short, big wall of hair, face like a frying pan."

-George, describing Elaine, in "The Movie"

1.elaine doesn't always go with str8 guys. in one eposide or two, she has sex with a gay guy, hoping that she might change his sexual oriantation. in the end, she admits that she cannot control the "equipment" that she doesn't own all the time."

2.if you really believe str8 guys don't get aids from hetero sexual contact, you are really in big trouble. bless you.

3.again, sponge doesn't protect you from getting std at all. bless your partner.

I would agree that the chance of one of the characters contracting an STD is quite high. It does not matter if Elaine only sleeps with straight guys that do not use IV drugs. Men can contract the AIDS virus from women! If people would wise up, the disease would not spread such as it does. Get educated!

Actually, Elaine did bring over one to "our team" (remember the shortstop?) if only temporarily for one night. After all how could she compete with someone who has that equipment 24 hours a day? :-)
