'We have no need to be embarrassed about our sexual health and wellbeing. We should be encouraged and empowered to be in charge of it.'
A number of businesses across Belfast will be offering the opportunity for the public to avail of free condoms this weekend to mark World Contraception Day.
"At present, Belfast is under performing in some of these areas. We have no need to be embarrassed about our sexual health and wellbeing. We should be encouraged and empowered to be in charge of it. At present, there are 1, 234 people living with HIV in Northern Ireland, many of whom are our service users who report feeling discriminated against because of their HIV status.
Founder of Born & Bred, Linzi Rooney said: “I’m really proud that my business is supporting Positive Life’s initiative. I think some shoppers will be surprised to see condoms at the till, but I see it as an important opportunity to help people enjoy sex responsibly. She continued: “The knowledge deficit when it comes to sex is quite worrying – it indicates that people aren’t being given the tools and resources to learn how to look after themselves, or that it’s not hitting home how important contraception is.
