It could be a good innovation, don’t you think?
A new ‘smart condom’ was created by a group of teenage students for the Teen Tech awards, which they claim will glow different colors if it detects an STD.
So we are guessing you’re wondering if when the condom detects a disease, it turns to a certain coulour say blue, or pink or something…you know like a litmus.
Well that’s what happens- the condom will change if STDs are detected: “glow green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple in the presence of the human papillomavirus which causes genital warts, and blue for syphilis.”
The creators said the condom will work with a layer of chemicals on the surface that will attach to bacteria and viruses from STDs.
Not only will the “smart condoms” make you aware if your partner might have an STD, one of the designers explained: “We wanted to create something that makes detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive.”
