"Just imagine it: You’re in the, um, moment and — like a sexually responsible person — you put on a condom.
But at some point, it starts to glow and change colors on you — an indication that you’ve just come in contact with a sexually transmitted disease or sexually transmitted infection." http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/06/24/teens-invent-clever-condoms-that-change-colors-to-indicate-std-exposure/ A bit late by that point, but the idea's there. |

Quoted: What if the condom doesn't change color and you get an STD anyway? That company better have a good legal team. Or, if the antibodies cross react with non-pathogenic species. In a delicate situation such as that, you'd better be darn sure you're right if you're going to accuse your intimate partner of being a skank. |

Quoted:
So a majority of those condoms will glow purple (HPV) then? It is an interesting idea, but failure for sales. Guys wouldn't buy them. It would alert females to what they might be carrying. Seeing as 30 some percent of guys have it. You don't want a product with that many scared off. |

Lol. "Sexually Transmitted Disease" and "Sexually Transmitted Infection" are the same things. STD is the old term. The word "disease" was considered to be too negative, so they changed it to "infection" which sounds more like a cold or the flu. A few of the "sexually transmitted infections do not fit the medical defenition of disease." That's what I was always told. I don't believe it. Disease or infection, it's all the same. |

A condom? What the fuck is that? ![]() They're by the razors and band aids. I guess some store designer must have had a sense of humor. |
