A group of teenagers have invented an STI-detecting condom which will be able to tell users if their partners have any sort of infections.
A research team of teenagers have invented a condom with the capability of switching its colour when the other partner is infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
The prescient prophylactic has a built-in indicator that alters its colour depending on what infection it picks up. This was revealed at the TeenTech Awards in London where it won in the health category.
Called the S.T.EYE, the project was the creation of Daanyaal Ali, 14, Muaz Nawaz, 13 and Chirag Shah, 14.
According to their spokesperson, Daanyaal Ali; a 14 years old boy from Isaan Newton Academy in Illford, he claimed its an invention targeted to protect the brilliant future of the people. This invention will go a long way in ensuring a quick discovery of sexually transmitted ailments and also secure the privacy of infected individuals as against the detection by doctors.
As a prize for winning the health category Daanyaal, Muaz and Chirag will be invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace in the autumn.
