Imagine a condom that not only helps protect you against an unwanted
pregnancy but also helps kill off infections and STDs—including HIV.
Within a couple of months, this may not be just a figment of our imagination. The new VivaGel-coated condom from Starpharma is setting out to make this idea a reality.
The soon-to-be-released condom contains 0.5 percent astodrimer sodium, which is a non-antibiotic, antimicrobial drug that has been shown to help protect against HIV transmission while also reducing the risk of contracting other STDs (lab studies found it to decimate about 99.9 percent of HIV, herpes, and HPV viruses). Big deal, right?
