A condom alerts you of a STI - Brainchild of students

[Ms Sue]

A condom that changes colour when it comes into contact with STIs has been invented by a group of school pupils

The 'S.T.EYE', brainchild of three 13 and 14-year-olds, has a built-in indicator to detect infections such as chlamydia and syphilis

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 and syphilis, turning a different colour depending on the strain of bacteria present.

It is the brainchild Daanyaal Ali, 14, Muaz Nawaz, 13 and Chirag Shah, 14, pupils at Isaac Newton Academy in Ilford, Essex, who wanted to "make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before" without the need for invasive tests.

You may think awkward post-coital silences are common enough as it is - but the group's ingenuity has been recognised with an award, the TeenTech gong for best health innovation.

Daanyall said: "We created the S.T.EYE as a new way for STI detection to help the future of the next generation.

"We wanted to make something that make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive procedures at the doctors.

• 
  
• We've made sure we're able to give peace of mind to users and make sure people can be even more responsible than ever before."

The group get £1,000 and a trip to Buckingham Palace from the TeenTech awards, aimed at up-and-coming inventors.

Former Tomorrow's World presenter Maggie Philbin, founder and chief executive of TeenTech, said: "We encourage students to take their ideas out of the classroom by putting them face-to-face with industry professionals, helping to open their eyes to the real potential of their ideas."

Other winning inventions included shoes that allow the user to charge up electrical items while walking, and and an electronic tap to help manage water supplies in developing countries

Seeing as STIs are generally contracted through unsafe practices, one wonders how effective this could really be.

 

[Langtrees VIP Perth]

This is genius.

I understand your point, AxeMan, however, as these detectors become readily and easily available let's hope that they encourage use by otherwise irresponsible people.

Could we perceive of a time when all condoms are like this? If one or the other participants demands the use of such a device, we could effectively wipe out these diseases almost overnight.

Absolutely brilliant. I just hope they didn't announce their invention to the world on 1st April.

I love seeing articles where teens and young adults are thinking outside the box and creating things to improve the world Go you young brains! All the innovation.

Even the head in the sand people out there will be encouraged to visit the doctor with the colour changing evidence right there on their diseased body part!

Brilliant invention but could lead to some awkward moments should the condom change colour.

 

[Happy2]

I was only unfaithful the once sweetheart But she had everything known to medical science

OK genius let me do the thinking ,

A. For a man who practices safe sex its a plus . its like red alert have a good shower dont kiss her au revoi forgo the tip , and never come back .

B For Pox doctors and STD infected WLs its game over .

 

[Farm Boy 2]

Brilliant invention but could lead to some awkward moments should the condom change colour.

Only if its changed color inside the wife.

 

[Dallas]

If the condom changes colour when it comes into contact with an STI, how does the couple know which one of them has the STI? Does it turn pink if she has it, blue if he has it, then red if they both have it?

Even better if a condom could change the colour of your STD infected partner

 

[Farm Boy 2]

If the condom changes colour when it comes into contact with an STI, how does the couple know which one of them has the STI?

If it changes colour when you first put it on Dallas ,

 

[Dallas]

If it changes colour when you first put it on Dallas ,

Good point, I wonder if w/l's will use them? Then as the anxiety sets in as you're having it slipped on, she yells all clear ur good to go! then hands you some industrial strength Viagra to overcome the last few seconds of trauma

 

[Happy2]

You'd get a fright if the lady you were visiting had been playing the school girl with her last client and had been sucking on a red chuppa chup as part of her role play
I mean as she first goes down on you and pulls back and you see this pink/red discolouration of the franger Arggggghh

This would sure to be the game changer. Once the colour changes to OMFG get the F outta there, it would just go flop. The erectile dysfunction chart would sky rocket.

 

[Viktoria Richards]

That would be a killer seller ;D

Well if we're meant to be joined at the hip oh Gemini and Eskimo brother
What choice do I have but to follow

 

[homer]

I hope this gets more funding. This would be great, if it was available to the public.
