Well I am guessing that if a woman had small lacerations in her
vagina and the lemon did sting then it would act to prevent HIV because
there is no way you want to have intercourse at all after
putting lemon juice on a cut in that area.
Double protection!!
If there is no broken skin it would not sting and if it stung - no
sex.
Just an amusing thought.

Wow, Lois did it really contract the uterus? ummmm.
interesting. What was
interesting to me was that it was used for a
couple of hundred years as a
spermicide (by the known sexually
promiscuous Cassanova et al), apparently
effectively, seems like it
also reduced infection (it really wacked the
HIVvirus in the program),
so maybe despite being irritating, if the woman
had lacerations its
infection inhibiting properties would over ride this. I
find ancient
medicines really interesting.
