Don't let the fact that every single case can't be solved with fingerprints cloud your mind into touching everything with your bare hands. That is just beyond fucking stupid. Why you don't need to wear a condom when banging random prostitutes in Africa: 1. HIV is not always transmitted during sexual intercourse, and it doesn't always take hold and cause an infection 2. Maybe you just get a blowjob, that has a much lower risk of transmitting HIV 3. Not ALL prostitutes in Africa have HIV in the first place 4. Maybe you are a natural resistor, something like 1% of male Caucasians resist HIV infection to such an extent that they are virtually immune Saying that you don't need to wear gloves when you handle illegal packages is pretty much the same as saying you don't need to wear a condom when you bang random African prostitutes, and then giving the above list of reasons. In other words, it makes you look like a dumb ass who is about to get infected with HIV.
