NEW YORK — Researchers say the new female condom could be a powerful weapon in the fight against AIDS, and many women and men who have tried it say they prefer it to the male condom. The problem is: nobody wants to use it. Critics blame the Food and Drug Administration, which they say has frightened people away from the condom by concluding that it is not as effective as the male condom. The critics say they believe the female condom is as effective as the male condom — both at pre venting pregnancy and blocking the spread of AIDS. The Food and Drug Adminis tration said it approved the female condom quickly because of the concern about AIDS prevention. But the agency said it is being cau tious because it can't be sure of the condoms's effectiveness. While the debate continues, some women say they prefer it and are eager to start using it. "I don't like the male con dom,'' said Donna, 33, a Harlem hospital worker who was asked to try the female condom. After only one trial, she said she and her hus band would use it exclusively. "We both feel comfortable with this," said Donna, who, like others quoted in this story, asked that her last name not be used. "My hus band found it much more comfort able than the male condom." "Men are very interested," said Erica Gollub of Columbia Univer sity, whose research concerns AIDS prevention. "We don't want to bash male condoms. We want to encourage use of male condoms — as well as say that there's an other option." Gollub said the female condc: gets around an often unspoke I problem with the male condor many men can't maintain ere; tions while using it. "Men complain about it/'d said. "There have been a minis of men who report that the femii| condom feels better." The Reality female condoil made by Wisconsin Pharmaceo: cal of Jackson, Wis., was approve: by the U.S. Food and DrugAdm’ istration in May. It is availableonl; at some family planning clinic and AIDS treatment centers, mo;: ly on the East and West coasts, Congr uating se The A member Associa dents de their accc But w ORGANIZER GIFTS MUSICIANS!
