The Female Health Company The Female Health Company (FHCO) owns certain world-wide rights to the Female Condom (FC1 and FC2). The Female Condom gives a woman control of her sexual health by providing dual protection from: Contracting sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) including HIV/AIDS, and Unintended pregnancy
The Female Condom’s Significance Condoms, male and female, are theONLYmeans of preventing HIV/AIDS transmission via sexual intercourse. No other alternatives on the horizon for years Four microbicide products failed in clinical study trials Merck Lab’s leading HIV/AIDS vaccine candidate failed. Reflects extraordinary scientific challenges involved
Does the Female Condom Compete with Male Condoms? • No. The Female Condom is an alternative to either using a male condom or to having unprotected sex. • Availability of the FC as an option to male condoms or using nothing results in an increase in protected sex acts and a reduction of the incidence of STI’s.
Why Use the Female Condom? • Women can have more control over their sexual health • User-friendly • No interruption factor, product may be inserted prior to sexual activity • Non-allergenic versus latex condoms • Unlike latex, is usable with either water or oil-based lubricants • Not tight or constricting, males often prefer the female condom over the male condom
Primary use of the Female Condom • STI prevention, especially HIV/AIDS
Female Condoms’ Major Market With STI prevention being the product’s primary use, FHCO’s main market is currently the Public Sector. The Public Sector is the market in which various organizations supply critical products for distribution, at low cost or no cost, to those who need but cannot afford to buy such products themselves.
Who are Public Sector Buyers? • The Public Sector includes • Large international agencies such as • UNFPA (UN Population Fund), • USAID (United States Agency for Int’l. Development), • PSI • Governmental Ministries of Health, • State and local health agencies, and • NGO’s (non-governmental organizations).
