PARIS (Reuters) – Young people in France will be able to get condoms free of charge from next year in an effort to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), President
Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday.
“In pharmacies, condoms will be free for those aged 18 to 25 from January 1,” Macron told reporters during an event about young people’s health.
Health authorities estimate that the rate of STDs increased by about 30% in 2020 and 2021 in France.
