National Condom Week

Did you know? National Condom Week, which begins on February 14, was established by students at Berkeley in 1978.

If you’re in need of condoms, don't forget that the UHS Pharmacy offers safer sex supplies at discounted prices for UC Berkeley students regardless of insurance. Additionally, thanks to the Sexual Health Education Program (SHEP), there is a free condom dispenser on the second floor of UHS. Keep your eye out for the SHEP team who will be tabling on campus and handing out free safer sex kits during Condom Week.
