An order published in Official Journal of 19 february 2019 authorizes repayment up to 60% by the health insurance of a new brand of male condoms.
After Eden in december 2018, it's the brand Get out covered!, marketed by a French laboratory, which is also covered by the Social Security on prescription of a doctor or midwife.
These male condoms, sold in packs of 12 at the price of €2 will be reimbursed up to 60% up to 1er March 2024.
Following a favorable opinion of the High Health Authority (HAS) and taking into account the frequency and severity of the diseases concerned, this measure is aimed at the prevention of the following sexually transmitted infections (STI):
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
Herpes simplex virus (HSV-2);
Papillomavirus (HPV);
Hepatitis B;
Syphilis;
Chlamydia;
Gonorrhea;
Trichomonas.
FYI
According to HAS, while more than 110 million condoms are sold or distributed in France each year, the number of users and the purpose of use (contraception or prevention of STIs) are difficult to quantify.
