In the ongoing discourse at the Nation Health Summit, health experts have underscored a powerful yet simple message: using condoms is a vital step in protecting personal health and shaping a secure future.
While condoms are commonly associated with preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), health advocates at the summit emphasized that their benefits go far beyond disease prevention. Condoms also serve as a reliable method of preventing unplanned pregnancies, offering individuals and couples greater control over their reproductive choices.
“Condom use is a simple choice with profound implications,” said Dr. Miriam Njuguna, a reproductive health specialist. “It’s not just a tool for disease prevention—it’s a means of empowerment, especially for young people who want to take charge of their health and futures.”
As conversations around sexual health take center stage at the summit, speakers are urging communities to break stigma and promote open, informed dialogue on safe sex practices. They also called on stakeholders to invest more in accessibility and education around condoms, particularly in underserved regions.
With rising concerns about teenage pregnancies and HIV infections among youth, the message remains clear: a small, consistent choice can create a big difference in shaping a healthier, more empowered generation.
