Condoms - Where and how to get them

You can buy male condoms at many stores and supermarkets. Female condoms and male condoms are also available at drug stores without a prescription. These are usually in boxes with more than one in the box.

You can also purchase individual male condoms from vending machines in many restaurants or bars.

Some STI/STD clinics and public health centres may offer male condoms free. Look in the telephone book under "health", "sexual health"or "sexually transmitted infection/disease".

Store male condoms away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. Female condoms need no special storage.

Always use a new condom each time you have sex.
