Abstract
The need for condoms is growing as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) spread. Making condoms more accessible, lowering their cost, promoting them more, and helping to overcome social and personal obstacles to their use would save many lives and reduce the enormous consequences and costs of STIs and unintended pregnancies.
