International Condom Day is observed worldwide every February 13, coinciding with Valentine’s Day, to promote the use of condoms as a means of preventing both unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Established to combat stigma around condom use, the day emphasizes their importance in sexual health. Condoms, which have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, became more widely used in the 18th century, with significant advancements made in production during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly with the introduction of latex. Activities associated with International Condom Day include lectures, discussions, performances, and free condom giveaways, often supported by healthcare organizations like the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The observance highlights condoms as an affordable and effective method for safer sex and is complemented by World Contraception Day, celebrated on September 26.
