If you’re comfortable enough to have sex with someone, you should be comfortable enough to talk to them about STIs, Baldwin points out. And if you’re comfortable talking to them about STIs, then you should be able to visit the doctor or one of the many clinics, such as Planned Parenthood clinics, that will do confidential testing.
But in abusive relationships, these condoms could become one more item in the arsenal used to control, shame and harm another person.
“Many people move about this world thinking they don’t have a sexually transmitted disease and believe in all honesty they’re telling the truth,” Ray-Jones said. “But it could positive, and what would be the repercussions of that if there is abusive relationship?” Aside from the immediate threat of violence, “the partner could use that to manipulate and control their partner, whether it’s true or not.” An abuser could claim the condom shows their partner has an STI and use that to force the person to stay with them or to threaten to tell others. That’s one of several scenarios Ray-Jones described to me in which this innovative idea could go cause significant harm in real life. __________________________________________________
