TL;DR
A polyurethane women's condom tested for permeability to the human immunodeficiency virus and cytomegalovirus using an artificial intercourse model did not detect viral leakage in three trials for each virus.
Abstract
The authors tested a polyurethane women's condom for permeability to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) using an artificial intercourse model. They did not detect viral leakage in three trials for each virus. Use of this device, which can be controlled by the woman, may reduce HIV and CMV infection.
