International Condom DayĀ Significance

International Condom Day encourages open conversations about sexual health. Condoms are one of the most effective barrier methods to reduce the transmission of HIV and other STIs. The global event supports efforts to curb these infections through education and accessibility. Condoms are not only for preventing STIs but also play a vital role in contraception.

By reducing unintended pregnancies, they contribute to family planning and reproductive health. Many societies still consider sex education and condom use taboo and hence this day promotes open discussions about sexual health, making people more informed and comfortable about using protection.
