Scientists have developed a female condom which they claim can protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV by dissolving inside the body and releasing specific chemicals.
The FDA has just approved the next-gen female condom. This is a dream come true for public health advocates who have touted that the birth control is a way to protect women from the HIV virus.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon approve the FC2, the female condom that will protect millions of women from HIV infection. Currently female condoms cost many times more than male condoms, making it difficult for poor women.
