Abstract
Abstract A method and devices for the prevention of transmission of venereal diseases and non-gonococcal genital infection which includes methods, such as contraceptive and non-contraceptive creams, jellies, foams, etc., and/or methods involving mechanical birth control devices such as condoms and cervical caps and vaginal diaphragms incorporating medication receptacles functioning to release medication in the form of contraceptive and non-contraceptive creams, jellies, foams, etc. by seepage or wall breaching during intercourse to expose the genital organs involved in intercourse to the medication and thus prevent the transmission of disease organisms.
