What does "just making the world safer for unsafe sex" mean?

By definition, safe sex is meant to decrease the likelihood of contracting HIV. If we technologically cure HIV (which this research doesn't do, strictly speaking), then what's "unsafe sex"? What's the point of it?

I grant, there are plenty of other STIs, but with the 800-lb Gorilla STI out of the way... In the words of George Carlin: Someday they WILL cure AIDS, and man, if you can't get laid that day, just give it up.
