Legal risk seems unlikely—I’ve never heard of anyone sued for just giving bad advice.
Saying something boneheaded and damaging the site’s credibility seems more possible, but not what I’d call an extremely likely. A substantial compendium of research may well be likely to do more good than harm, but damned if I know how to compute that.
The fact that one website uses a disclaimer doesn’t show that the person who created the website knows what he’s doing. He might just have copied what other people are doing to be safe.
You presumably meant “than not wearing a condom”.

Fixed, thanks.
A lot of websites use a “This is not medical advice” disclaimer, enough to justify a generic template.
