In the words of the CDC "latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of HIV". As is said, nothing is for sure except death and taxes. I would have to believe the reason that the CDC would use the word "essentially" is because there could be a defect in the material, even though the defects would be measured in parts per billion, hence "essentially".
