Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially HIV, are rampant today and spreading fast. Also, sexual activity is being practiced at even younger ages resulting in unwanted pregnancies in girls in their early teens. Governments of many countries are seriously concerned and resorting to proactive measures. |
One of them is by sex education programs through which is spread an awareness of the dangers of unprotected sex. Another is free distribution of condoms to teenagers to prevent the spread of STDs and slow down the incidence of teenage pregnancies. In the course of these programs, adolescents are introduced to the proper usage of condoms and other methods of birth control and prevention of disease. They are also advised of the pros and cons of the different methods of contraception. The condom is the only positive barrier that offers protection against both pregnancy and disease.
Condoms are offered free online to teenagers. Many retailers who offer these free supplies send the condoms in discreet packaging. They come along with useful information on usage, facts about disease and instructional guidelines. Condoms are also available free at pregnancy planning and HIV counseling and testing centers. Free condoms are offered by some high schools from the nurse’s centre. Such requests are treated with discretion and the parents are not informed.
In the UK, government advisory groups have recommended that condoms be made freely available to children as young as 12 years old at sports halls, community centres, shops and swimming baths. They urge that condoms should be freely accessible with new and creative approaches to distribution.
