There is a new type of condom that could soon be on the market. This is a condom that begins as a liquid. Like the gels and lubricants used during sexual encounters, this liquid could be administered in the same way. When the condom comes into contact with another surface – that of the woman – it solidifies and becomes a protective condom.

There are numerous forms of contraceptives for women. To identify some, there are injections, female condoms, sponges, intrauterine devices, birth control pills and birth control patches. Women are sometimes given the sole burden and responsibility when carrying out a natural birth control method, which is based on the fertility period around the time of menstruation.

There has been no doubt that most industrialized countries in the world have recognized and endorsed the efficacy of condoms in preventing the transmission of most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, the debate still remains on the use of this prophylactic in addressing the issue of AIDS prevention.
