Claim:
A method for providing for safe sexual relations and reducing HIV transmission facilitated by spermicide-induced vaginal ulcers, comprising applying to sexual organs prior to sexual relations a lubricant composition consisting essentially of: a) lubricant effective to reduce friction, thereby reducing the rupture of blood vessels during sexual relations, b) an effective amount of spermicide active against HIV and other viruses, said spermicide destroying the human immunodeficiency virus and other viruses, said spermicide immobilizing the sperm and reacting with vaginal mucosa to form a barrier to the penetration of sperm cells into the uterus, said spermicide also destroying natural flora in the vagina and permitting thereby growth of fungi causing ulceration of the vagina; c) an effective amount of a fungicide to prevent the growth of the fungi in the vagina which grow in the absence of natural bacterial flora destroyed by the spermicide; and optionally, water, alcohol and flavors; said composition having no substantial detrimental effect.
