A total of 2,319 unique individuals who started 
TVD for PrEP between 01 Jan 2012 and 30 Sep 
2013 were included in the analysis. 
• 48.8% of PrEP users were women. 
• Mean age was 38.2 ± 12.2 years 
• Males were significantly older (39.5 ± 
12.0) than females (36.8 ± 12.3). 
p<0.0001 
• 12.3% of individuals were under 25 years old. 
• The proportion of males under 25 was 
8.0% (95% CI 6.5 – 9.5) significantly lower 
than that of women 16.8% (95% CI 14.6 – 
19.0). p<0.0001 
Overall distribution of TVD for PrEP 
prescriptions by prescriber specialty: 
• Family Practice (18%) 
• Internal Medicine (16%) 
• Infectious Diseases (11%) 
• Nurse Practitioners (9%) 
• Physician Assistants (9%)

The Woman’s Condom 
• Polyurethane with dissolving capsule 
applicator 
• Held in place by foam shapes 
• Trials demonstrate safe, acceptable, and easy 
to use, and has comparable functionality to 
FC2 
• Additional studies, including contraceptive 
efficacy, are in process 
• Received CE marking 
• Commercially available in China and South 
Africa 
FEMALE CONDOMS
• Cupid 
 Latex, inner sponge that aids insertion 
 Outer ring helps keep it in place during sex 
 Available in India, Brazil, Indonesia, The Netherlands, South 
Africa, Mozambique, and Kyrgyz Republic 
 Pre-qualified by WHO/UNFPA, enabling bulk procurement 
 Safe, acceptable, and comparable functionality to FC2 
 CE marking 
• Cupid 2 
 Same construction, thinner sponge 
 Under evaluation for functionality 
FEMALE CONDOMS
• Panty Condom 
• Polyethylene sheath pre-lubricated w/ 
Vaseline 
• Limited distribution in Colombia, under 
review for WHO pre-qualification 
• Phoenurse 
• Polyurethane, silicone lubricated 
• Insertion tool 
• Limited availability in China & Brazil, under 
review for WHO pre-qualification 
FEMALE CONDOMS
FEMALE CONDOMS 
• Origami 
• Silicone, accordion-like folding 
• Assessed acceptability and performance with 20 HIV-negative 
hetero San Fran couples

GATES FOUNDATION CONDOM CHALLENGE
117 
GATES FOUNDATION CONDOM CHALLENGE 
The common analogy is that wearing a 
condom is like taking a shower with a 
raincoat on. A redesigned condom that 
overcomes inconvenience, fumbling, or 
perceived loss of pleasure would be a 
powerful weapon in the fight against 
poverty. 
– Dr. Papa Salif Sow, senior program 
officer, Gates Foundation
CONCEPTS IN DEVELOPMENT 
• Air-Infused Female Condom 
• Uses air pressure to insert 
• Polyurethane 
• Female Pleasure Condom 
• Elliptical opening 
• Ribbed exterior 
• Pleasure focus 
• Non-Gender Specific Internal Silicone Condom 
• Refining silicone Origami condoms 
• Intended for both vaginal and anal 
intercourse
