The world's only latex women's condom is to be distributed all over Europe the second half of 2004, where it is already CE approved.

Asia and India (VA is manufactured by Medtech Products in Chennai , India ) are expected to also have the condom available later this year.

The VA condom currently awaits final approval by the US FDA.

The VA condom, worn by women, one of only two existing female condom alternatives to male condoms, is to be distributed around the world, except in the US where Intellx hopes the FDA approval could be put on a "fast-track" process for approval within 6-12 months. The newest version, with a new sponge insert, has achieved very favorable user response from company in-house surveys, especially from men.

There is no other women's latex condom on the market, and the introduction of the VA condom is a major step forward in AIDS prevention, including distribution by US social agencies funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who recently started distributing condoms to AIDS-inflicted areas in India .

"Men have responded with great enthusiasm for the VA condom," states Intellx President, Brian Osterberg. "Men say their positive reaction from using the VA cannot really be understood until one is used, and then compared to using a male condom, in terms of overall sexual pleasure," Osterberg says.

"Because there is little or no loss of sensation for the male, the sexual encounter feels as if it's without condom interference and both partners can enjoy intercourse with greater abandon. The VA condom looks and feels erotic for both partners. VA changes everything when it comes to using condoms."

Intellx also distributes the Inspiral latex male condom which for over 3 years has garnered the world's highest-rated condom awards because of its unique patented spiral design which brings similar reactions from users, as does the VA condom.
