Abstract
Condoms with leading medication-dispensing sponges surrounding a well for semen at the distal end are described. The purpose is to combine the advantages of condoms and medication-dispensing sponges for reducing the chances of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases, as well as unwanted pregnancy, resulting from sexual intercourse. The sponge, to which medication can be added, will tend to force the medication to the area at which it is most effective.
