Condoms. All peer educators must become skilled at handling, talking about, demonstrating and explaining the use of condoms. Since condoms are associated with sex, people may feel reserved and/or shy when talking about or handling them. Peer educators need to ensure that clients have the opportunity to feel safe and comfortable talking about their perceptions and practice of using condoms and any challenges that they face. In addition, peer educators should have a consistent supply of condoms (both male and female) and lubricants (where feasible) and other materials for demonstration, discussion and distribution purposes. They should have visual aids or anatomic models to help them demonstrate the correct use of condoms and to use as a focus for discussion on condom use. Key points about condoms to cover during peer education: Emphasize the benefits of consistent and correct condom use o Condoms (along with a water-based lubricant) are the safest means for protecting oneself from HIV infection o Condoms provide dual protection – from HIV/STIs and unwanted pregnancies Promote condom use with all partners, especially with non-regular partners or partners who do not know their HIV status Address any myths or misconceptions about condoms Identify any potential challenges that the client may be facing related to condom use, such as peer pressure, alcohol consumption or partner reluctance, and help them think through how to overcome the identified challenges Counsel clients on ways to talk about safe sex and negotiate condom use with their partner and help them to practice what they are going to say to their partners Demonstrate the proper steps for using male and female condoms using visual aids and/or anatomic models Observe the client practicing how to properly put on a condom using the anatomic models and provide feedback as necessary Distribute condoms and lubricants (if available) Provide information on where condoms are available for free or at minimal costs in the community, from NGOs and social marketing programs Provide information on how best to store condoms in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight and heat
