- a doubly sealed garment impermeable to the passage of herpes virus adapted to be worn by the female partner covering the herpes contagious genital area, said garment including a front wall portion having a generally circular hole therein at the genital area, said hole having a rim portion forming a biasable toroidal lock member,
- a cooperatively associated sheath member to be worn by the male partner, and having a generally cylindrical, elongated, flexible sheath wall impervious to the passage of herpes virus and adapted to fit around the penis of the male partner, said sheath wall having a closed end and an opposed end having an edge portion having a toroidal biasable gripper member, said sheath member passing through said hole formed by the rim portion of said garment,
- said biasable toroidal lock member secured to said rim portion and said toroidal lock member forming an external circular cavity,
- said biasable toroidal gripper of said sheath secured to said edge portion and being capable of stretching from an unbiased condition to fit over and form a double seal with said toroidal lock member and be removably positioned in said circular cavity, wherein said toroidal gripper is in a biased condition directly radially pressing upon said front wall portion of said garment and indirectly radially pressing said sheath wall against said penis, said toroidal lock member and said toroidal gripper being adapted to mutually removably engage one another to removably connect said sheath member with said front wall portion of said garment and to provide together by means of said toroidal lock member and said toroidal gripper said double seal to said garment against the passage of herpes virus.
