''I'm not going to sit here and say that from the time I found out about AIDS I've always had intercourse with a man with a condom on,'' she told Norman Mailer in Esquire.

''And I do think you get to a point with a person that you say: 'I love this person or care for them enough that I don't give a . . . what happens to me, I'm willing to take the chance.' '' Madonna, 35, graces the cover of the magazine's August issue, standing in front of a bull's eye in a dog collar and leash, wearing a black leather bra and underwear, next to the headline ''Women We Love''.

Of her controversial appearance on David Letterman's Late Show, she said the writers egged her on.

''Before I went on the show, all his writers were coming in my dressing room, giving me tonnes of stuff they wanted me to say, and it was all insulting - rag on this, make fun of his hair,'' she said. ''I told [them] I was going to swear, and they went, 'Oh, great, do it, we'll bleep it and it'll be hysterical','' she said.
