| The new hydrogel-based condom |
A
team of scientists in America have invented a new type of condom that is
capable of killing the HIV virus while enhancing pleasure.
A new hydrogel-based condom that contains antioxidants has been
invented by a team of Indian-American scientists at the Texas A&M
University Health Science Center.
It was gathered that not only does it contain plant-based
antioxidants, which kills the HIV-virus in case of condom breakage but
it also uses antioxidants to enhance pleasure.
Experts say it is the new big player to join the fight against AIDS
"We are not only making a novel material for condoms to prevent
the HIV infection, but we are also aiming to eradicate this infection
if possible. Supercondom could help fight against HIV infection and may
as well prevent unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. If
we succeed, it will revolutionize the HIV prevention initiative"
Choudhury, the lead researcher and assistant professor at the Texas
A&M Health Science Center's Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy,
said the researchers hope to test the condom within the next six months
and then get it released for general usage.
