About Climax Control Condoms

"It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion. Two lines of "climax control" condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.

HPV Information

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Center of Disease Control Male Latex Condom Fact Sheet

In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse.

Condoms: Barriers to Bad News

What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?

Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles. Glickman, who has sold condoms by the millions to individuals and organizations such as the Peace Corps and Planned Parenthood, says condoms should be viewed as ordinary, like toothpaste and toilet paper. "People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high."

Study: Abstinence projects will "reverse" HIV success

Posted by Condom Depot on 04/04/2005

A shift toward US-funded "abstinence only" programmes threatens to reverse significant progress made in Uganda to curb the spread of HIV and AIDS, according to a report released Wednesday by the Human Rights Watch.

Crucial information about HIV transmission, safe sex and condom use has been removed from school curricula in Uganda and replaced by information emphasising abstinence, the report says.

Abstinence-only campaigns teach that abstaining from sex until marriage is the only sure way to prevent HIV, and that a marriage between a man and a woman is the only acceptable arena for sexual activity.

Abstinence programs are widely touted by religious conservative in the United States, though research has shown such programs to be ineffective and even harmful, undermining the use of condoms and other forms of contraception and reducing medical treatment.

Uganda's new educational material about HIV, promoted to children in both primary and secondary school, says that premarital sex is a form of "deviance" and falsely claims that condoms have tiny pores through which HIV can pass.

These programs "dictate morals and ethics, but censor other important life-saving information," said Tony Tate, co-author of the report. "Although proven again and again to be ineffective, they continue to be funded by the Bush administration," Tate told the Gay.com/PlanetOut Network.

Uganda is often cited as a model country for the success of its HIV prevention strategy.

Its prevention policy, popularly known as the "ABC" strategy -- an acronym for "Abstinence, Be faithful, use Condoms" -- is credited for helping reduce the prevalence of HIV in the country from roughly 15 percent of the population in the early 1990s to about 6 percent today.

But that strategy is being replaced by the new "Abstinence and Being faithful," or "AB", strategy, with condom use and availability noticeably absent. Removing condom use from Uganda's HIV prevention strategy could prove fatal, Tate said.

"Abstinence-only programs are a triumph of ideology over public health," said Human Rights Watch researcher Jonathan Cohen, another author of the report, citing the role of American fundamentalist Christians in promoting these policies in the United States and abroad.

A growing fundamentalist Christian movement in Uganda is working closely with Christian, faith-based organisations in the United States to embrace and promote abstinence messages.

"Americans should demand that HIV-prevention programs worldwide stick to science," Cohen said
