Kenyan Pharmacy Introduces Smart Condoms That Can Detect STIs During Sex

A pharmacy in Kenya has become the center of attention among many individuals owing to its introduction of condoms popularly referred to as smart condoms that are believed to change their color in case of the presence of sexually transmitted diseases during intercourse.

In its promotional message, the condom was endorsed by a lady who was representing Glamaris Pharmaceutical, which sells the smart condoms.

As stated in the promotional message, a woman who was affiliated with the pharmacy described some of the functionalities of the condom in great detail.

“Hello, condom yenye inachange color imefika at Glamaris Pharmaceutical. Msichana akiwa na yeast infection ukiwa umevaa hii condom itachange to color white. Akiwa na bacteria itachange to light yellow. Akiwa na viral itachange to orange,” She said.

Translating her statement into English, she said, “Hello, the color-changing condom has arrived at Glamaris Pharmaceutical. If a woman has a yeast infection, while you are wearing this condom, it will change to white. If she has bacteria, it will change to light yellow. If she has a viral infection, it will change to orange.”

If proven scientifically, the claim could be a breakthrough in the detection of STIs.

Nevertheless, there has been no medical instruction or recommendation for the particular condom.

Performance and Design Claims

The advertiser then went on to point out more features of the product, adding, “So, alafu pia, wale watu wako na dudu (big genitals) kubwa iko like, iko kubwa, you see? Alafu iko lubricated vizuri. Inaingia kuingia, yani mpaka inside.”

In English, this translates to: “Also, for those with large genitals, it is big, you see? And it is well lubricated. It goes in smoothly, all the way inside.”
