First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a gel containing hormones for male contraception can transfer to women through skin contact. Healthy men applied the gel, then women touched the application site. Researchers measured hormone levels in the women to see if washing or wearing a shirt reduced transfer. The goal was to understand how to prevent accidental exposure.
