NEW DELHI, June 30 (UPI) -- Folks in India three times out of four use condoms for anything but their intended use, including toys, water containers and dust covers for rifles.
The Telegraph reported Saturday that free condoms were distributed as a means of cutting down on HIV and AIDS, but instead are being used for inventive purposes. They also are being melted down for their latex.
Indians, according National AIDS Control Organization chief Sujatha Rao are reluctant to discuss sex. Rao said the condoms have to be used for their intended purpose and attitudes will have to change if new HIV infections are to be curtailed.
