Creation of condoms is capable of killing HIV

Australian researchers have designed condoms that can kill HIV. At this point, this type of condom will be produced and put into consumption.

Australian biotech company Starpharma has invented the Viva Gel lubricant on condoms that are antiviral. Viva Gel is composed of active ingredients to prevent and kill sexually transmitted viruses.

The new condom with Viva Gel lubricant is capable of killing the HIV virus.

Specifically, the main ingredient in Viva Gel is Sodium Astodrimer (0.5%). This is an antibiotic specially formulated as a compound against HIV.

Clinical evidence has shown that VivaGel condoms are effective in reducing up to 99.9% of HIV virus activity, genital acne and human papillomaviruses.

The product has received the Australian Drug Administration's evaluation certificate - similar to the CE certificate in Europe, which allows mass production and consumer applications.

In addition, Australian Biotechnology Company Starpharma also cooperates with Ansell to ensure that products will be distributed and occupy 70% of Australia's condom market.

Reportedly, the HIV prevalence rate in Australia has recently been diagnosed to increase by 10% in the 12 months to the end of 2012. This is considered the largest increase in Australia in the last 20 years.

Facing that situation, President of Ansell and General Manager of the global health business unit Peter Carroll hopes to bring consumers 'breakthrough products' in the protection of health soon. sex.
