''It’s clear that female condoms save lives, but over a quarter-century since their introduction, the apparatus remains unappealing and unpopular. The female condom may have a future if aid organizations, governments, health care providers, educational institutions, and other groups that advocate for safe sex increase their commitment to the awareness of contraceptive choice. The internal condom may not be for everyone, but it would help those who would prefer it to other mechanisms of STD prevention and contraception—particularly those who might choose to practice safe sex as a result.''

Overigens is de grote ster van de avond – het vrouwencondoom – wel bekender in Afrika dan in Nederland. Hiervoor schuift Anny Peters van Rutgers aan, gepromoveerd op de moeizame introductie van het vrouwencondoom. Volgens haar gaat het vrouwencondoom gebukt onder vooroordelen en moeten we eerst genderdiscriminatie doorbreken, voordat een dergelijk alternatief aanslaat.
