Condoms That Changes Colour If You Have An STD

A group of 13- and 14-year-old students just developed a “smart” condom that glows in different colors if it detects a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Creators Muaz Nawaz, Daanyaal Ali, and Chirag Shah, from London’s Isaac Newton Academy, wanted to “make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before” without invasive testing.

Their invention, cleverly named the S.T.EYE, nabbed them the top health innovation prize at the city’s TeenTech Awards, which are intended to promote science, engineering, and technology in schools. At the competition, groups of kids ranging in age from 11 to 16 attempt to create “technology to make life better, simpler or easier.”

The condom uses a built-in indicator that changes to a different color depending on the bacteria or infection it detects. The students said it may glow green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple for human papillomavirus, or blue for syphilis.

Good for them....."If we aint getting any then these bitches who have STDs aint getting any either!"  The sad thing about this is you know some people will continue to do the deed thinking "well if we are using a condom we should be fine".  The whole point of the condom is to open up conversation between 2 people in the privacy of their own environment and have an adult conversation about the situation should the condom glow.  Hopefully this won't turn into a Condom shaming situation each time one glows!

 

Trade can be cruel!  Ahhhhh!
