Condoms

With an estimated 428,827 people living with HIV (PLHIV) and an HIV prevalence among 15-49-year-olds estimated at 2.39% at the end of 2019 (SPECTRUM 2021), the HIV epidemic in Côte d’Ivoire remains a pressing issue. AIMAS therefore makes two condom brands available to the public (Prudence® and Complice®), distributed through both indirect and direct sales.

Indirect sales

Indirect sales take place through:

• Major food-industry distributors and pharmaceutical wholesalers
• Super-wholesalers in mass-market outlets supplying semi-wholesalers and retailers

Direct sales

Direct sales mainly involve condom purchases by NGOs and private companies, for key populations and for their staff respectively.

In addition to sales, AIMAS provides free condoms to NGOs and associations during awareness campaigns.
