International Condom Day

International Condom Day (February 13th) and unwanted pregnancy are two of the most popular diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancy that occur every year. It's also a day to promote the use of condoms to provide HIV protection.

According to the most recent World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 million STDs are reported every day. Many of these STDs have no signs or symptoms are mild, so they are unlikely. People are also unknowingly transmitting these diseases to others because of this. If a pregnant woman has an STD, it can result in birth defects or a stillborn baby.

Nearly one million people per day around the world die from HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in several countries.

There is a simple way to avoid STDs, HIV, unwanted pregnancies, and birth complications, which is the good news. A male condom is 98 percent effective when worn correctly.
