'Supercondom' to fight AIDS? Yes, says Indian-American researcher




Aiming to increase the global use of condoms as a way to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS, researchers including an Indian-American professor have developed a new non-latex condom which contains antioxidants and can kill the deadly virus even after breaking.

Mahua Choudhery and her team of researchers at Texas A&M University have come up with the hydrogel condom which could help in the global fight against HIV.

The condom is made of an elastic polymer called hydrogel, and includes plant-based antioxidants that have anti-HIV properties. "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," Choudhury, assistant professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center's Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy, said.

"Supercondom could help fight against HIV infection and may as well prevent unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases and If we succeed, it will revolutionise the HIV prevention initiative," said Choudhury, the lead researcher.

This is a laudable achievement and proves that India has the brains to achieve anything. Only leadership was lacking before, but with Modi-ji in charge, India will quickly become a research superpower by 2020!

condoms (rubbers, prophylactics) help to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases include the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. Male condoms already cover AIDS sir , its the diaphragm ( dutch cap ) that do not provide protection against HIV , may be they are working on reducing the failure rate of condom that is high IE ; 10 -12 %

Don't worry because the HIV virus could not survive on the blade.

If still worried, ask the chemist for the medicine which can be taken before 24 hour, of the possible infection for HIV.

Wear two condoms, and put some chilli powder in between the two. If the outer one breaks, she'll know and if the inner one breaks, you'll know. Patent pending.

Will it not be more safer and economical that he himself enter in condom than putting on condoms on every object around?
