A new smart condom has been designed and invented by a group of students, and its innovative design means that it immediately reveals any STD.

And it turns out that the judges at the TeenTech awards were hugely impressed with their invention, as the S.T.EYE won the first prize in the Health Category at the ceremony. This event has been orchestrated to promote science, engineering, and technology in students.
However, despite this impressive state, a spokesperson for TeenTech told MTV News that the trio’s “ideas is very much a concept and is not a finalised design.” But they added that the idea has now been patented, and it is believed that it will ultimately go
