The event highlights the critical need for sustained investment in public health, particularly in HIV and STI prevention, which could influence funding decisions by governments and international donors. Increased awareness and access to prevention tools like condoms could lead to better public health outcomes, potentially reducing future healthcare costs.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Nigeria is celebrating International Condom Day (ICD) with a campaign themed 'Just Use It!' to promote condom use and combat rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV. The initiative involves road walks, free condom distribution, HIV testing, and sexual health education in Nigeria===Anambra State and Nigeria===Abuja, including a symposium at the University of Abuja. AHF emphasizes that condoms are a cost-effective tool for prevention, and the surge in STI rates is linked to diminished global funding and under-prioritization of condoms. AHF Africa Bureau Chief Martin Matabishi and AHF Nigeria Country Program Director Dr. Echey Ijezie call for increased domestic health financing and removal of barriers to access, stressing that sustained investment and political will are crucial to reverse the trend of rising infections.
