Dilemma of the Day: gel condoms

New Scientist, 11 August 2009.
Patrick Kiser, whose team developed the gel at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, says that the objective is to give women in countries where HIV is rife a cheap way to protect themselves from viruses and pregnancy even if their partner is unwilling to wear a condom.

Dilemma:
A. The gel has to be penetrable to enable unobstructed sexual intercourse.
B. The gel has to be impenetrable to prevent infiltration of sperm, HIV, and other sexually transmitted viruses.

Solution: Separation in Time (upon condition)

The gel is liquid as long as it is in contact with the acidity that is normal in a vagina, but will turn solid when it encounters semen, which is slightly alkaline. Any particles wider than 50 nanometres – including sperm, HIV and other viruses such as the herpes virus and the papilloma virus, which causes cervical cancer – are trapped.
