How To Use A Condom

No matter how experienced you think you are in using a condom (or not...), have you ever thought about the following?

Where do you keep your condom?
• Somewhere on the bedroom floor? (What if someone steps on it?!! This could damage the condom and make it more fragile...)

• In your trouser back pocket? (Think how many times you've sat down today... exactly! A crushed condom is a weaker condom!)

• In your wallet? (OK, but is it a tight squeeze for the condom in there? Think about it...)

HIV Testing In Lebanon

The Baabda Hospital offers FREE, VOLUNTARY, and ANONYMOUS testing to any individual who might be concerned about his/her HIV/AIDS status. In other words, you don't have to pay any money to get tested, you're under no obligation to get tested, and 'anonymous' means just that - you don't have to give your real name!

Why should I get tested?
Well if nothing else, if you have doubts about your HIV/AIDS status then this is the ideal opportunity to stop worrying when you test negative!

What if I test positive? What will I do then???
