New HIV Study Reveals: Even Women with Healthy Genital Lining Are at Risk

A new research has debunked a long-held belief that the normal lining of the vaginal tract was an effective barrier to HIV during sexual intercourse.

Conducted by the Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, the study reveals that HIV can penetrate healthy vaginal walls through areas where the vaginal tract sheds its skin cells. A scarier revelation: HIV can do this in "just four hours."

The head of the research team, Dr. Thomas Hope, expressed elation in this milestone in the fight against the spread of the HIV virus. At the same time, he expressed concern for the need for new prevention strategies or therapeutics to block HIV and prevent it from entering a woman's genital skin.

Until such new strategies are found, Dr. Hope agrees that the best way to prevent HIV is through the use of condoms. Dr. Hope confirms "condoms are 100 percent effective in blocking HIV."

Now that's another strong reason and purpose to practice safe sex and use condoms. What is there for us to lose? Condoms are cheap, easy to use and they be bought online, discreetly. Trojan Condoms, Durex Condoms, Lifestyles Condoms and Kimono condoms are among the top brands in the market today. And you can get them online discreetly at The Condom Zone.
