condoms

There are rumors floating around that there are approximately 150,000 condoms available in the Olympic Village. Apparently no one told Nick Symmonds where they were, although I imagine it'd be hard to miss a giant bowl of contraceptives.

The news: A game-changing condom that kills almost all sexually transmitted infections, including herpes, HIV and HPV is one step closer to hitting the market. The Australian market, that is.

Ansell, the Australian prophylactic company, will manufacture a condom laced with the antimicrobial VivaGel lubricant. Australia's version of the Food and Drug Administration, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, gave the product a Conformity Assessment Certification, meaning that it could be on the market within months. The gel is proven effective in killing 99.9% of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

I'd prefer not to think of how Dad celebrates his holidays.

Sometimes it's better not to know.
