World Condom Day also known as International Condom Day is celebrated on February 13 every year, one day before Valentine’s Day.
The day, celebrated across the world was created by the US-based nonprofit AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which was established in 1987 in reaction to the HIV/AIDS crisis.
In observance of the holiday, the organisation distributes free condoms.
The purpose of the day was to serve as a reminder to the public that using condoms is among the best ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
