The male and female latex condom is the single, most efficient, available technology to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV and prevent unintended pregnancy. The search for new preventive and treatment technologies such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV vaccines, microbicides and male hormonal contraceptives continue to make progress, but condoms will remain a key component of combination prevention strategies individuals can choose at different times in their lives to reduce their risks of sexual exposure to HIV and prevent unintended pregnancy.
The Department of Reproductive Health and Research (RHR) is pleased to convene this webinar exploring the multipurpose prevention role of condoms in the context of these SRH/HIV linkages.
