Seriously, there is so little latex in a condom (very thin construction) that the risk of latex allergy is low (relative to latex gloves for e.g.).

Some misconceptions, prolonged exposure to high-protein gloves lead to higher incidences of developing latex sensitization and allergy in predisposed individuals. Recall that latex protein allergy is akin to food allergies like peanuts and seafood. Latex is a 100% plant material.

Technology has come a long way since the 1980s when the market was flooded by ill-manufactured gloves made in response to the AIDS crisis. Those gloves were not probably leached in the manufacturing process and contained high levels of residual protein and when combined with predisposed folks, led to unfortunate latex sensitivities and allergies.

Today's low-protein and powder latex gloves still represents the gold standard in cost effective barrier effectiveness. Natural latex posses unique qualities that synthetics are not able to match quite yet, there really isn't a substitute, merely alternatives.

Its interesting to note that with the advent of the new standards in latex glove manufacturing the rate of new cases of latex allergies/sensitization is on the decrease. FDA and NIOSH has yet to make a ruling to do away with latex gloves.

Statement is a bit too broad don't you think? Saying todays low-protein gloves are the gold standard may be true in some medical applications, however anywhere outside the medical field/lab/bed room the natural biodegradability of latex rubber works against them, especially when exposed to caustic/petro chemicals.... I don't see a lot of first responders still wearing latex, I see them in Nitril, combined with an aramid outer perhaps.

Besides, as mentioned latex gloves are near useless around Solvents/oils/cleansers.

No I said latex medical gloves are a gold standard IN barrier effectiveness. Clinical viral transmissions test have proven this. Also due to latex's properties, they have resealing properties (when needle puncture holes are encountered) that synthetics do not have. Nitrile is a comparable barrier but its a harder material. When its (high) integrity is breached they rip/tear.

On a side note it disturbs me to see the widespread use of PVC examination gloves, clinical studies have shown them to fail at a high rate in viral transmission tests! I get a little wary when I see restaurant operators handle ready-to-eat foods with vinyl or even those clear plastic 'deli gloves' saran wrap looking things as I know there is no sufficient barrier to prevent virus (from fecal matter etc) from being transferred to my food.

EMT have to wear nitrile as there is no way to ascertain latex allergy in an emergency situation (when the patient's unconscious etc).
