They were promoting spermicide nonoxyl 9. it was also stated in San Jose Mercury News that Conventional wisdom has long held that the spermicide offers extra protection against a gamut of diseases, including chlamydia and gonorrhea. The thinking was always that while condoms are good, and lubricated condoms better, lubricated condoms containing nonoxynol-9 are the best."
Nope, they aren’t... Our government was wrong... again.
