Teentech Kids Discovers Condom That Changes Colour When Exposed To STD by agbajesaid(m): 11:57pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
A condom that changes colour when it comes into contact with sexually transmitted infections has been invented by a group of school children. The ‘S.T.EYE’ has a built-in indicator to detect infections such as Chlamydia, herpes and syphilis, turning a different colour depending on the strain of bacteria present. The discovery is the brainchild Daanyaal Ali, 14, Muaz Nawaz, 13 and Chirag Shah, 14, who are pupils at Isaac Newton Academy in Ilford, Essex. The kids wanted to “make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before” without the need for invasive tests. The condom would glow green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple in the presence of the human papillomavirus which causes genital warts, and blue for syphilis. For their ingenuity, the kids have been recognized with the TeenTech award for the best health innovation. They would get £1,000 and a trip to Buckingham Palace from the TeenTech awards, aimed at up-and-coming inventors. musicnobs.com/2015/06/25/teentech-kids-discovers-condom-that-changes-colour-when-exposed-to-std/?fb_action_ids=10204705372019774&fb_action_types=news.publishes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%5B996979040335858%5D&action_type_map=%5B%22news.publishes%22%5D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D |
