The STD detecting super condom detects a range of diseases recognizable through bodily fluids. If a STD is present, it alerts users by the condom’s control bands changing color. It will then signify which partner has an STD, so they can get tested. Rather than diagnosing, it simply alerts of the presence of a disease, so the users can follow up and find out more.
Early detection can save lives, and it's rare for people to get tested for STDs unless they feel the need to. This device could alert users before things get worse.
The STD detecting condom provides protection against STDs, and it also serves as a field test for the early detection of sexually transmitted diseases.
Adam Arreola was born and raised in San Jose, California, where he attended Bellarmine College Preparatory for high school. He is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University and currently lives in Los Angeles. He recently got a patent approved on a STD detecting condom, which he started conceptualizing in the eighth grade. "One day, I was thinking about the inconvenience of going to a clinic to find out if you have an STD. I wanted to create a way to know of the presence of an STD without that hassle, and the idea for an STD detecting condom came from that. It's beneficial for everyone to know if an STD is present, as there is really no downside to knowing. I'm glad the condom can detect STDs for both users. Early detection can save lives, and I’m happy to help users before things get worse."
