Evaluation of the virus permeability of a new condom for women
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
|April 1, 1990
Abstract:
The authors tested a polyurethane women's condom for permeability to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) using an artificial intercourse model. They did not detect viral leakage in three trials for each virus. Use of this device, which can be controlled by the woman, may reduce HIV and CMV infection.
