Publications - Released in 2015

Condoms have been proven to provide protection against sexually transmitted infections. Correct and consistent condom use is one of the most effective means of preventing transmission of HIV. Not only that, it acts as a main family planning method that prevents unintended pregnancies. Condoms are widely available in the country, and are distributed through retail outlets, STD clinics and through Public Health Midwives.

The first ever situation assessment of condom programming in Sri Lanka, which was conducted recently, has clearly shown the current condom programming status in the country, and recommended to develop a “National Condom Strategy” for Sri Lanka. This will provide a comprehensive plan in line with the expectations of the other stakeholders, to achieve better health status for the Sri Lankan population, by reducing transmission of STIs including HIV infection and as a family planning method.
