International Condom Day 2020
AHF is again celebrating International Condom Day (ICD)—an informal holiday observed on Feb. 13th in conjunction with Valentine’s Day. This year’s ICD theme song is inspired by Lizzo’s hit “Truth Hurts.”
Where’s the fashion sense in condoms? With hundreds of sizes, textures, colors and flavors—you can change it up every time! They’re also discreet, easy to carry and are still the most affordable way to avoid sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies.
Make a statement for ICD 2020: You care about your and your partner’s health! Join AHF by reminding everyone that condoms give you peace of mind, so you can relax and focus on the FUN! Help us spread the word by tagging your friends and family on social media!
