This country announces free condoms for under-25s

In a move to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), France President Emmanuel Macron announced that condoms would be made available for free in pharmacies for 18- to 25-year-olds. This will begin on January 1st.

The plan to make condoms available for free follows the one that began to offer free birth control to all women under 25 years of age. In doing this, a scheme targeting under-18s was expanded to ensure that young women did not stop taking contraception just because they could not afford it.
In France, condoms are already reimbursed by national healthcare system if they are prescribed by a doctor or midwife.

Speaking while on a visit to Vienne in south west France, the president said It is a small revolution of prevention.
