abstract
  • The condom was conceived several thousand years ago, when ancient Egyptians are believed to have used a linen sheath to protect themselves from the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Since that time, condoms have been in use in one form or another throughout history, although the material and technology with which they have been manufactured has changed dramatically. The fifteenth century saw the first published account of condom use thanks in large part to a syphilis epidemic spreading across Europe. At that time, a man by the name Gabrielle Fallopius claimed to have invented a similar sheath to the ones Egyptians had been using in order to protect men from the disease, which lead to the widespread belief that the condom was a European invention.
