Condoms are widely available in South Africa through free distribution by the Department of Health, as well as through social marketing and commercially.
Free condoms are generally available through clinics and some workplaces.
Monthly distribution of free condoms has increased from 40 million per annum in 1996 to 160 million per annum in 1999. The objectives of the condom campaign are to normalise condoms, to increase first-time condom use, and to promote consistent condom use. The campaign includes a series of radio, print and outdoor advertisements. Some examples of taxi advertising.
