The fact that someone has created a condom that can detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is amazing on its own, but the fact that it was invented by a team of 13- and 14-year-old students is even more impressive! Muaz Nawaz, Daanyaal Ali and Chirag Shah from the Isaac Newton Academy in London came up with the concept, calling it the ‘S.T.EYE.’
The condom glows faintly in different colors depending on what STIs it has encountered; green for chlamydia, yellow for herpes, purple for human papillomavirus, and blue for syphilis. They won the first prize (£1,000) for Health at TeenTech Awards, a competition that encourages 11-to-16-year-olds to create inventions that will help the world.

They won the top Health price at the Teen Tech Awards: £1,000 and a trip to Buckingham Palace!
The students’ design is currently just a concept, but we hope it becomes a reality!

If they had virus samples and the right protective equipment, there's no need for testing. Just inject the condomes directly with the virus and see if it glows.

You need to emphasize more in the title that this is still in the CONCEPT phase and hasn't actually been invented.

I am thinking this might make people who actually have infections choose to *not* wear condoms to avoid humiliation. Also, if someone has the color change, do you think their partner would still do the deed with them? Not sure this is a good idea

If we use condoms, that's because we want to make love to people without thinking about IST. No ?

Beyond a one night stand, the guy will often try to talk the girl out of using a condom, especially if she is on the pill. This would be fair warning to both.

You know, I have used many condoms many condom bands before, for my suggestion; 1. LifeStyle easy to buy in the market, but it is a bit expensive. 2. Dulex this similar to LiftStyle as well. 3. Soft Condoms, for a band you can buy only online, so the con is that it is hard to find in the market, but the price is cheaper than both bands above and it comes from medical expertise so 100% safe and well design. Invisible by Soft condom is by far the best condom i have ever used. you can literally feel everything when you are inside her. the second I am in I can feel the warmth, never felt the warmth with other condoms. I would highly recommend this with water based lube. literally the next best thing compared to not wearing a condom. but this is the best option, because you should always be protected!
