Not for long.

KU is looking for serious couples to take part. As a couple, you have to be open to the idea of having kids and must have dated each other for at least a year. That’s because in clinical trials, the product isn’t guaranteed to work – so you may end up pregnant.
True for any form of birth control.

99% effectiveness for a woman is one failure in 8 years.
99% for a man leaves 150k to 2 million per..."shot"
I don't buy this:
Doctors told KCTV5 News the goal is for the gel to be 100% effective, 100% reversible and 100% free of side-effects. So far, they say the results are very promising.

I don't doubt that's the goal, I just wonder how close to it they'll get to it on all three fronts.
I imagine the research thus far suggests effectiveness might be close to goal or they wouldn't bother with testing it on volunteers. Reversibility and lack of side effects, especially after long-term use, are gonna be the big question marks.

More options are always good. I think long term safety is the most important goal. Someone using it without issue for 40 years is past my expected life span.

This may be the most unscientific study that has ever taken place. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk.
