Condition note

Added poster text: Nowadays, when you have sex, you need to protect yourself. Condoms are the only sure way of reducing the risks of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases... including HIV/AIDS. You can buy condoms from chemists, supermarkets, petrol stations and vending machines. There’s more to condoms than you think—check out the instructions next time you buy a pack.
