 AB    The AIDS and sexually transmissible disease pandemics have helped to
       focus the world's attention on the need for good protection against
       transmission of infections during sexual intercourse. Most of the highly
       effective modern contraceptives provide only limited protection against
       STD transmission, although recent progress with the development of
       loose-fitting plastic male condoms and new spermicides gives some hope.
       Urgent attention must continue to be given to contraceptives with STD
       protective qualities which are under the woman's control. Refinements of
       the female condom and vaginal sponges with new spermicides and
       microbicides may be a step in this direction.
