Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Condom efficiency awareness on the most romantic day of the year<\/b><\/p>\n

Being one, if not the most important element of safe sex, the use of condoms is a great way to reduce the risks associated with unprotected sex, while it must be used properly to maximise their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

It is therefore appropriate to create awareness and promote safe sex on Valentine\u2019s Day which is the most romantic day of the year.<\/p>\n

To commemorate the romantic event which coincided with the beginning of the World Condom Week, the Ministry of Health \u2013 through its Media and Communication Unit \u2013 conducted a drive in Victoria where they distributed female and male condoms, leaflets among other items to boost sexual education, safe sexual experiences and practices.<\/p>\n

From February 14-21, the World Condom Week aims to increase awareness of using a condom as a contraceptive for safer sex. It helps to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV and unwanted pregnancies. The week also aims to place the use of condom as a healthy lifestyle choice.<\/p>\n

It is therefore appropriate that the event goes hand in hand with the most romantic day of the year.<\/p>\n

The World Condom Week was initiated by students at the University of California \u2013 Berkeley \u2013 in 1978, and it has since grown into a national and international educational and awareness event worldwide.<\/p>\n

A condom is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy or an STI.<\/p>\n

There are both male and female condoms.<\/p>\n

With proper use \u2013 and use at every act of intercourse \u2013 women whose partners use male condoms experience a 2 percent per-year pregnancy rate.<\/p>\n

With typical use the rate of pregnancy is 18 percent per-year.<\/p>\n

Their use greatly decreases the risk of gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, hepatitis B, and HIV\/Aids.<\/p>\n

To a lesser extent, they also protect against genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), and syphilis.<\/p>\n
