GUEST - Avian Bell – the CEO of Quantumed

In recent months, South Africa has witnessed an alarming rise in the sale of counterfeit condoms, posing significant health risks to consumers. These fake products, often sold at discounted prices or through informal channels, are substandard and fail to meet the safety and quality standards required to effectively prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies.

Health experts and authorities have issued urgent warnings to the public, urging individuals to be vigilant and only purchase condoms from trusted, regulated sources. The surge in counterfeit condom sales highlights the need for increased consumer awareness and tighter regulation to ensure sexual health protection for all.
