Condom use continues to be a crucial preventive measure in reducing #HIVtransmission, especially in key populations and high-prevalence areas. It serves as a vital component of a comprehensive, long-term strategy to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among individuals living with HIV. This study demonstrates that with the right intervention, it is possible to enhance condom use frequency in the population. Let's strive for greater awareness and effective interventions to promote safer practices and improve public health outcomes.
