You have to look at this from long term and short term goals.

Short term it would be good, as it could greatly stop the spread of AIDS.

Long term, it could return people to an 'unsafe' mind set, meaning the next 'AIDS' would have the same effect it had in the early 80's. Currently by protecting yourself against AIDS you are also protecting yourself against other STD's, with that fear gone the at risk population becomes vulnerable again.

Should it be used? Of course, a hypothetical possiblity does not hold more weight then a deadly reality.
