Detecting STDs: a color-changing condom

teens-sex-parentsThe genius idea which involves color-changing protection, has two curious facts about it. First, without a doubt it could be a real “contraceptive revolution”. Second, it’s an invention of two 14-year-old teenagers from London. They call their project «S.T.EYE».

The condom changes color when an STD is present.. For example, chlamydia – green, herpes – yellow, human papillomavirus (HPV) – violet, syphilis – blue.
