What were you doing when you were 13? Maybe running around<\/a> or hanging out with your friends, but surely not going around developing\u00a0condoms. And why not? It is an important concern, and taking active steps to protect yourself against the\u00a0perils of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is the cornerstone of safe and enjoyable sex<\/a>.<\/p>

Called S.T. EYE, the condom<\/a> developed by three British schoolchildren contains chemicals which glows when it comes into contact with certain pathogens.\u00a0It\u00a0turns green for chlamydia, purple for the human papillomavirus (HPV), yellow for herpes, and blue for syphilis. The name itself is an agglomeration of acronyms, with S standing for sexually, T for transmitted, and EYE meaning eyes.<\/p>

For their innovative breakthrough, the team was awarded\u00a0a prize in London's Teentech Awards' health category, a competition hoping to inspire teens\u00a0to strive for greater heights in STEM fields.\u00a0According to the kids, they\u00a0want to make the detection of STDs<\/a> easier and safer, without needing the intervention of a doctor. After all, doctor appointments can\u00a0isolate people who need detection the most due to affordability and social acceptance issues.<\/p>

The condoms are currently\u00a0still a prototype so we don't know when they'll hit the markets, but one thing's for sure - these brilliant schoolchildren are the result of sex education done right.<\/p> <\/div>
