Relationships Things you should try if you are bored with your sex life
Health authorities in
the United States
have authorized a condom for anal sex for the first time, a decision they hope will help reduce cases of
HIV
and other sexually transmitted diseases nationwide, especially among men.
The
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA
) indicated that the condom will be launched on the market under the name
One Male Condom.
"The risk of sexually transmitted diseases during anal intercourse is significantly higher than during vaginal intercourse," said
Courtney Lias,
director of the FDA's area of urology, among others.
She also indicated that this express authorization from the FDA, with a condom labeled even for anal use, is an important step in meeting the needs of "diverse populations" such as
LGTBI.
The One Male Condom will hit the market in three different versions:
"standard, slim and tight",
according to the release, with
54 different sizes
available.
Its effectiveness was proven through a study with
252 men who had homosexual relationships
and another
252 men with women between 18 and 54 years old.
In total, condom defects were detected in 0.68% of cases of anal sex and 1.89% during vaginal intercourse.
Global Protection Corp.,
the company that applied for FDA authorization last year, submitted a study on the 99% reliability of its condoms, a favorable decision that now opens the door for other companies to follow the same procedure.
In the past, other attempts have crashed with error rates above 5%.
David Wedel,
president and founder of Global Protection, said this designation will help consumers have "important information about the safety and effectiveness of condoms for anal sex," as well as shine a light on a gap that many people were unaware of. existed on the market.
According to experts, there is little education about the use of condoms for anal sex, and not only among the gay community, but also among heterosexual couples.
That would explain, in part, the decline in its use, according to data from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
46% of men admitted not using a condom in relationships with other men in 2017, compared to 28-40% in 2011.
