Dangerous Fake Condoms in Circulation: Experts Warn of Infection Risks | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Health experts have raised serious concerns over the sale of fake and substandard condoms, warning that their use could lead to a surge in sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and unintended pregnancies.

The warning comes after the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) alerted the public to the illegal distribution of Foula condoms, an unregistered brand found in parts of Nigeria.

The discovery, made during a post-marketing surveillance study, has intensified concerns over the dangers of counterfeit condoms, which often lack the necessary quality and reliability to prevent infections or pregnancy.

NAFDAC has emphasized that the safety, efficacy, and quality of these products are unverified, posing significant health risks.

Dr. Cynthia Okafor, a Consultant Gynaecologist at the Federal Medical Centre in Epe, Lagos, explained that counterfeit condoms may contain micro-holes or defects that make them ineffective, thereby increasing the likelihood of transmission of STIs like HIV and Hepatitis B and C.

Also, some fake condoms contain harmful lubricants, which could cause irritations or allergic reactions in users, particularly women.

“The implications of using substandard condoms go beyond personal health concerns; they threaten the success of public health initiatives aimed at reducing STI rates and promoting safe sex practices,” Dr. Okafor said.

She urged Nigerians to purchase condoms only from reputable sources and to be vigilant about product labeling and quality assurance seals.

Professor Tanimola Akande, a Public Health expert at the University of Ilorin, echoed these concerns, stressing that unregistered condoms are unlikely to meet established quality standards and thus cannot guarantee protection.

He called for stricter enforcement of NAFDAC’s regulations to prevent the circulation of fake condoms and ensure that all sexual health products are certified for safety.

Health professionals are also calling for greater public awareness campaigns to educate consumers about the risks of fake condoms and the importance of buying certified, quality-assured products.

“People need to be careful when buying condoms, as the risks associated with using substandard products are serious and far-reaching,” Dr. Okafor added.
