Condom is the right choice of Contraceptive for Prevention and Control of HIV. Accessibility
and availability of condom is an important determinant in condom use. How to increase
condom use is an important issue to increase safe sex behavior. During the trainings with
stakeholders there was a suggestion to promote condoms by opening new outlets.
Mainstreaming Units made an innovative approach by modifying Halmets in to Condom
Corner. The Halmets, modified as Condom corners, were given to the stakeholders to install on
an easily accessible location of their premises. The Condom Corners are created in the
premises of Government departments, Non HIV NGOs and Corporate and approximately
10,000 condoms were filled during the week.

more number of public places to create more awareness.
• Non HIV NGOs were ready to open Condom corners in their premises and they
requested for more IEC material to display in the field where they are implementing the
project.
