A pronto solution against HIV/AIDS
Mon, 11/06/2006 - 5:31pm
In an effort to tackle its country's spiraling HIV/AIDS epidemic, a South African company this week launched Pronto condoms, a product its designers hope will encourage South Africans to more frequently practice safe sex. The condom apparently takes just one second to put on, and it targets those who find regular condoms to be time-guzzling mood killers. Pronto condoms will be available in South Africa this week, with plans to go global in the future. Those curious can even view a demo of the 'prontoness' of the Pronto condom on its website. With its slogan 'the best way to get it on,' let's hope that Pronto condoms will be the best way to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in a country with 5.5 million already infected.
