Using condoms but not any

The World Health Organization (WHO) has encouraged condom producers not to use spermicide nonoxynol-9 to make condoms. According to this organization, nonoxynol-9 detergent is able to elucidate and destroy vaginal epithelial tissue. This destroys the first protection of the body against AIDS and other sexual diseases.

At the moment, condom manufacturers claim that they do not intend to take out of the market condoms containing the component nonoxynol-9, which account for about 40% of their income. Manufacturers say that this type of condoms are used exclusively for women, so they will add the phrase “For exclusive use in the vagina” to condom containers.
