The VA w.o.w. Condom Feminine has been available nationwide since July
when the National Ministry in Portugal awarded the contract for the VA w.o.w.
(worn-of-women) through a competitive public tender. It's the only new female
condom to obtain a CE Mark approval in the past 15 years.

Medtech Products, Ltd. of Chennai, India manufactures the VA. The VA
received a combined satisfaction rating (somewhat to very) of 97% in the 2007
Clinical Study of 200 couples measuring Functional Performance and
Acceptability. 54% rated their useage "very satisfied". Earlier versions of
the VA, which differed slightly in physical characteristics, have been test
marketed in Europe for the last 3 years.

Medtech believes the expanding VA European introduction will help achieve
its long-desired goal of improving women's health, including sexually
transmitted disease and pregnancy prevention. Issues and setbacks with
developing an effective microbicide may turn AIDS prevention priorities
towards promoting an improved women's condom, particularly one obtaining
unprecedented high user satisfaction and acceptability.

Initial reports from health clinics in Portugal are very positive, states
the Portuguese supplier, Clinifar SA, which won the government contract for
VA to replace the Femidom.

The VA condom consists of a simple and inexpensively manufactured latex
pouch to line the vagina, attached to an outer V-shaped frame with a soft
sponge disc inside the pouch to hold it inside the vagina.

VA distribution is growing worldwide, including Africa and South America.
The U.S. FDA approval process is underway.

European distribution expands next month in England, France and Germany
and other countries.

The VA is scheduled to be presented by Sida Info Service (the French AIDS
Info Service) to the general public and national Health Officials in November
at the 2007 PARIS - Women and HIV conference.

Britishcondoms.com (Englands largest on-line condom supplier) is
scheduled to receive product for online sales next month. NHS clinics can
contact info@vawow.com for supplies. Discussions are also underway for
distribution in the UK with Boots and Superdrug.

Dr. Caroline Shuttleworth of London's SameDayDoctor clinic, states the VA
will be an excellent product for the sex worker industry, and it provides a
valuable alternative form of contraception.

Avert.org of the UK, a leading independent on-line AIDS information site
has VA details for any individual or organization interested in learning
more.

Medtech is the global leader in patented male and female condom design.
Its male condoms are the most innovative in form and function, being rated #1
in pleasure by users. New models currrently being introduced include the
Dolphin Condom, shaped just like the name. See manufacturer website:
