Valentine’s Day: Adeleke’s govt. to share condoms, lubricants at Osun malls, lounges
The Osun State government has announced plans to distribute free condoms and lubricants at selected malls and lounges across the state to promote safe sex on Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2025.
The government said in a statement on Thursday by Olusegun Daramola, the executive secretary of the Osun State Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS (O-SACA), that the move is to promote awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
“To support safe practices, the agency will provide condoms and lubricants at selected locations, including malls and lounges. Please approach our vendors to access these valuable resources. Let’s share love, not the disease,” the agency advised.
Advising residents to avoid unprotected sex, particularly on Valentine’s Day, Mr Daramola stated this was imperative because HIV/AIDS is still a significant public health threat.
“It’s essential to avoid risky behaviours, such as unprotected sexual intercourse. We encourage those who haven’t already done so to get tested and know their status.
“The government of Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke is committed to reducing HIV prevalence in Osun State. We invite everyone to join us in working towards ending AIDS by 2030,” he urged.
