Celebrate Valentine's Day safely The Bangkok municipality will distribute 2 million condoms

Thailand network reported that on February 10, Ban Ledi, director of the Health Office of Bangkok, Thailand, revealed that because February 14 is Valentine's Day, the Bangkok municipality will hold relevant activities in 69 health service centers in 50 districts to prevent and control AIDS, venereal diseases and publicize the correct use of condoms, and prepare 2 million condoms for free distribution to the public.

Benradi said that AIDS and venereal diseases are still diseases that need to be highly valued. According to the survey, there are 6450 patients with STDs in Bangkok in 2021, and the data shows that the number of STD patients is increasing every year, with a clear upward trend, especially syphilis and gonorrhea, and there are many people with syphilis and gonorrhea in the 15-24-year-old group in the past 5 years. The Bangkok municipality aims to achieve a gonorrhea infection rate of no more than 3 people (per 100,000 people) and a syphilis infection rate of no more than 1 person (per 100,000 people) by 2030.
