| abstract |
The present invention includes pourable, non-toxic lubricating compositions containing carrageenan and more precisely lambda carrageenan as an anti-viral agent, for protection from Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and methods of using the lubricating compositions as a non-oily, psuedoplastic lubrication product. Such methods include the lubrication of substrates, including condoms and sexual accessory devices, with the lambda-carrageenan-containing lubricants for contacting the skin of one or more sexual partners and reducing the propagation of HPV during sexual activity. |
