International Condom Day
February 13
International Condom Day
According to the World Health Organization, over 1 million people globally acquire an STI every day, and 117 million new HIV infections since 1990 have been averted thanks to condoms. This is why, on International Condom Day and beyond, the world must remember—condoms are safe, sexy, and essential to ending HIV/AIDS.
International Condom Day (ICD) was established by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a non-profit organization that was founded in the 1980s as a response to the AIDS epidemic. The first International Condom Day was introduced in 2009 as a fresh way to help people remember the importance of practicing safe sex.
