Teens create new way to detect STI's
06.24.2015

"CNN -- Three British teens have come up with a condom that they say can detect sexually transmitted infections.

The idea came from Muaz Nawaz, 13, Daanyaal Ali, 14, and Chirag Shah, 14, who attend the Isaac Newton Academy in east London, according to CNN.

The so-called “S-T-EYE” condom changes color when it comes in contact with Syphilis or a similar infection.

The teens told CNN, the condom could, in theory, detect an infection both in the wearer and his partner. “People find it embarrassing to go to the clinic, so this makes sure that their privacy is maintained,” although they would still have to go to the clinic for treatment, Ali said.

The teens won a prize at Britain’s Teen-Tech Awards for their idea and they have been invited to Buckingham Palace.

The condom is still in the concept stage, but the teens have been approached by a manufacturer to make it a reality."
