Australian firm Starpharma recently created the VivaGel condom that is designed to kill sexually transmitted diseases and HIV within the first moment of contact. This condom will revolutionize the lives of many suffering with HIV or incurable sexually transmitted diseases.
The VivaGel condom's ability to kill sexually transmitted diseases is in the lubricant that the condoms come coated in. The lubricant is made up from an anti-microbial drug called astodrimer sodium that is designed to combat HIV. This chemical drug has tested as 99.9% effective in killing HIV and sexually transmitted viruses. The condom is also highly effective at preventing pregnancy.
The VivaGel condom was inspired by the growing rise of HIV positive people in Australia.
