Indian company makes condom for gay men

Tue 3 Aug 2010 In: International News View at Wayback

A condom especially for gay men is being made by one of India's leading condom manufacturers. Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust and the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) say a study found that many gay and bisexual men were not using condoms because those designed for vaginal sex caused discomfort. They have created a new kind, Spice Up, which will contain extra lubrication. India legalised homosexuality just last year and its society is slowly becoming more tolerant, Pink News reports. A NACO executive has told Indian media "We want to bring about a behavioural change in the habits of these men, which is difficult because they are a closed group and do not respond well to advice from outsiders. We have, therefore, roped in some peer leaders to carry our message across and hope this will work."
