Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Condomless STD Prevention Here's the scoop: Ribbed or not, condoms don't really exist for anyone's pleasure. But what if you could protect against both rug rats and STDs without a spontaneity-sucking latex barrier? A new gel (brand name: Amphora) coats your vaginal walls, killing STDs on contact but leaving your body's natural bacteria alone. Inserted up to 12 hours before sex, with a device that covers the cervix, it does double duty as a contraceptive. Amphora's release will be a banner moment for women worldwide whose partners won't roll on a Trojan: "It will finally put the power to protect against STDs into the woman's hands," says Alfred Shihata, M.D., chief medical officer of Instead, the company testing Amphora. ETA three years: Clinical trials are expected to take up to two more years. If they're successful, an OTC product could get the FDA greenlight by 2011.
