The report was released to mark the International Condom Day (ICD), which is observed annually on February 13.

Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, the Director-General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS Gambo Aliyu, said condoms play a vital role in the country’s HIV response strategy if used correctly and consistently.He said that if people are faithful to their partners, the use of condoms to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases will be unnecessary.

He noted that the goal of NACA remains to scale up community efforts to provide national access to prevention, treatment, care and support services.The group said the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of our lives, and access to condoms was unfortunately not spared from the effects of the pandemic.

“Lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID-19 have been an ongoing threat to condom access, particularly in countries where stockouts and other barriers already made it difficult for people to get condoms,” said AHF Chief of Global Advocacy and Policy Terri Ford.The group reiterated its commitment to ensuring people everywhere have access to free or affordable condoms.
