At least in SG they probably could find a Goa'uld healing device or something for their acquired space warts later on.... *g* But yeah, the condoms are not romantic thing is awful.
The story I just read wasn't quite as bad, it was a college story, first time they had sex and no mention of any health check, and they actually used condoms later on for anal sex, while the discussion was for the swallowing during blow jobs earlier. And though I can sort of follow the reasoning that anal sex is considered far more high risk in particular for AIDS, it's not as if there a variety of other STDs ranging from unpleasant to dangerous that are transmitted by unprotected oral sex, nor is the AIDS transmission risk totally absent. And I know that some people consider unprotected oral sex an acceptable risk for themselves, but once one character brought up it up as unsafe it still threw me that they then disregarded that because of being "always careful" (though really, clearly not!).
