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. 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.
