Condoms are now free in French pharmacies for everyone younger than 26 years old as part of the government’s efforts to curb sexually transmitted diseases.
The measure, which went into effect on Jan. 1, was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in early December. It was originally aimed at French citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 but was expanded to minors as well. France has also made emergency contraception free for all women, according to a government spokesman’s tweet.
