Condom That Detects STD's (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

Now how do you feel about Muslims?

Ilford, United Kingdom (CBS Atlanta) Three students from Londons Issac Newton Academy are helping to create a cleaner sexual environment.

Muaz Nawaz, Daanyaal Ali and Chirag Shah are creating what will be known as the smart condom called the S.T.EYE, The Independent reports.

This condom could possibly revolutionize how people can detect if they have a sexually transmitted disease without even getting tested.

We wanted to make something that make detecting harmful STIs (sexually transmitted infections) safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive procedures at the doctors, Daanyaal Ali told The Independent.

The condoms glow a different color in the dark if an STD is detected. Reports show that the condom uses a built-in-indicator that changes color when a bacteria or infection is detected. Green may indicate chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple for human papillomavirus, or blue for syphilis.

This condom creation earned the teens the top innovation prize at the Teen Tech Awards. They also received money and a trip to Buckingham Palace.

According to reports, the condom is not available yet, it is just a concept for now.

The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention says ways to help prevent STDs are through condoms, reducing number of sex partners, abstinence, mutual monogamy and vaccination.

Cool invention.

Doubt I'll be picking up a box of them though. I assume every girl I stick it in already has HPV and I sure as #### don't want my junk glowing yellow or green mid stroke, talk about a boner killer. I can't see these being very popular with females aged 18-40, they don't want to advertise how dirty they really are, it is much better for them if we all think they are angels who never do this.

And if it turns blue? :X

All that criticism aside, awesome technology. Hopefully next they develop an app that can somehow detect STDs from a girl's tinder pics.

Oh, and does it turn colors as soon as the guy puts it on if he has the herp/clap/hpv? If it does then I predict their sales will be minimal. Why would a guy advertise he has an STD right as he is about to put it in? That is a conversation for another time.

I completely misunderstood the point of these. They are not to determine if your sexual partner has an STD while in the middle of intercourse. That would be ridiculous. They are to discretely test yourself at home to find out if you have an STD. That is something I could get behind. Nothing like watching internet porn, slapping on a rubber, going to town, and praying for no change in color.

What the hell are you supposed to do if it turns yellow/blue/green? Order Valtrex or penicillin from India over the internet?

:drunk:

This is the dumbest invention ever

What if it comes out looking like a gay pride flag?

This is like Big Heads team from Houli this past season. Yeah it's a great idea..... But it's in all likelihood years if not decades away.

 

[Parrothead]

kind of like Sting in Lord of the Rings - turns blue when orcs are near...

 

[Scoresman]

I guess when it comes to STDs, now we can say...

YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Too bad it wasn't the way most people would think. Pregnancy would go way up. Think about it. Little dip test...clear...CONDOM OFF!

Post edit: Not too bad that pregnancy would be up. Too bad because I'd be the dude to be too slow on the pullout...but...more fun.

 

[MikeIke]

Most sexually active adults have HPV (79 million in the US), it would always be turning purple.

 

[dickey moe]

"Yeah, just let me put this on and wet my dipstick a little first... "

ullsitoutandlooks:

"Well, gotta run. Don't call me. "

So the guy taking all the risk in being exposed here. What if the girl is the one with the STD?

 

[Aerial Assault]

IT TESTS YOU AT HOME NOT WHEN YOU'RE DOING IT WITH SOME FLOOZY

 

[Soulfly3]

Isn't 99% the reason you're wearing a dome cuz you're under the impression the chick has an STD, anyways?

1% cuz you dont wanna get her preggo (hence having a strong pullout game)

I dont get it. Who cares what the condom test says, you're likely convinced she has one anyways if you're wrapping it up

 

[BustedKnuckles]

What if it comes out looking like a gay pride flag?

that = aids

 

[BustedKnuckles]

its literally the one and done condom

I can't tell if posters are just schticking it up or are in fact foolish.

It's a relatively dumb invention. But the idea isn't that you put on a condom, dip your wick in your gal(?)pal for the evening, it turns neon green, raw umber or burnt sienna, and you run screaming for the exit with your clothes in your hands just barely covering your diseased junk. The idea is that you test your dong at home by donning the condom. It will then turn some color and you'll know that a $2 condom thinks you look pretty in pink. You'll then probably head to the doctor, which you could have done anyway.

This is how they described it but after passing with flying (non) colors, then you can use it on a chick to know what you're getting yourself into.

There's been a lot of reporting in this, which is weird since it's just a "concept". These kids had an idea. So what?

I have a concept for a machine that uses no electricity, it runs on air, and it dispenses the cure for AIDS, food for the homeless, and cures male pattern baldness. What do I get for that?

The condoms are still at the concept stage but the developers have been approached by a condom manufacturer that believes it can make their idea a reality. "We really want to make this a realistic thing, but we understand that it is not the easiest thing in the world to do," Nawaz said.

"With today's molecular technology, it is quite possible," said Dr. Ward Cates, distinguished scientist and professor emeritus at fhi360, a nonprofit "human development" organization. "It would be quite sophisticated and my guess is quite costly," he said, adding that it might be too expensive to make condoms that detect more than one STI.

All they really need is one that detects HIV/herp since the rest can either be cured (bacterial infections) or prevented with a vaccine (hep A and B).

That's why it's dumb...why not just make a regular at home test and not have it be in a condom form. The point of a condom is to have sex, not an at home test. More wide use would be for women to have these on hand and then give them to the dude in the heat of the moment without telling them it's this special std test kind. She has sex with the condom on and odds are she's safe even if it turns a color. Afterwards she investigates the color outcome and now knows if future avoidance is needed.

That use makes more sense.

Good thought, except I'm thinking that if she really thinks the dood has an STD that's going to stop her from doing it with him, then she probably won't go through with the test you suggest anyway or better yet, won't do him in the first place. And what if she has something? Then does the thing go two-toned?

I have crabs but I still bang without a condom because I identify as a guy without crabs.

HIV is in the blood, and herp is in the nerves (and can be spread by contact with areas not covered by a condom), so how does a surface test give instant results for these?

It all sounds like fantasyland. Media is reporting this with no idea what it is.

Herp is tested by a blood test (new $9 test, BTW) but spread by skin contact. I'm not sure how feasible it is for a condom to detect herp from skin cells but it's in the world of possibility.
