Safe Sex Practices 

Condoms are an essential component in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Condoms are a highly effective method of preventing STDs when used correctly. We believe making them widely available is a proactive step in promoting sexual health.

  • ​chlamydia,
    gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis,
    HIV,
    and hepatitis B. 
However, condoms don't protect you from all STIs such as herpes, genital warts, syphilis and mpox which can be spread from skin-to-skin contact.

  • What If my tests results are reactive ( Positive ) ?
    If your HIV test comes back positive, a follow-up test will be conducted. If the follow-up test is also positive, it means you have HIV. People with HIV have the best health outcomes if they start treatment for the virus as soon as possible after they are diagnosed, even if they don’t feel sick. HIV is treated with medications called antiretrovirals (ARVs). People with HIV who take ARVs as prescribed and remain in medical care can live long, healthy lives. ARVs can reduce the virus to levels that are undetectable by standard lab tests. Successfully treating HIV also gets an individual to an undetectable status.which means the risk of passing it on through sex is minimum to none.
  • What if my results are negative?
    If you don’t have HIV, staying that way will help protect your health and the health of your partners. There are more options than ever to prevent infection. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective in preventing HIV. PrEP is short for pre-exposure prophylaxis and involves taking medication before potential exposure to HIV. This medication can block infection. Today, there are two forms of PrEP. One is a daily pill and the other is an injection given by a healthcare provider every eight weeks. Both are highly effective at preventing HIV. Condoms are also highly effective at preventing HIV. When used consistently and correctly, they also prevent various other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). *A variety of free condoms comes in over Glow Guards*
