Female condoms have high acceptance among sex workers – NACO said

2 AUGUST 2010

The reluctance of usage of male condoms has been addressed by replacing it by

female condoms at India.

This pre-programming assessment indicated much acceptance of the condoms among

sex workers and it is stated about five percent of the unprotected sex is being

reduced.

The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) has scaled up the female condom

programme in four states- Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and

Maharshtra.

The good results made NACO to scale up the programme in another nine states.

NACO is providing the female condoms at cheaper rate – Rs.3.50/- per condom and

so far it distributed 1.5 million female condoms.
