The newest one, YCT-529, is still in clinical trials until June so we ont hear anything till closer to the fall if not the end of the year. Shit a market value estimate of $200b+ means they are absolutely still trying.

Huh, neat. But I don’t suppose that’s gonna come to Europe that soon, if it passes trial at all. Would be great tho. Am not a huge fan of condoms but even less so a fan of children…
