Aids Healthcare Foundation Thailand (AHF Thailand) has launched its “Just Use It” campaign after government data showed that young people account for more than one-third of newly reported HIV infections nationwide.
The campaign was introduced last week ahead of International Condom Day, observed annually on Feb 13, at Yupparaj Wittayalai School in Chiang Mai. It aims to promote condom use and safer sexual practices among youth to prevent HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies.
