Spain is considering providing free condoms to young people in an effort to tackle high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The possible measure was announced by health minister Mónica García on Thursday before the Senate Health Committee. "It makes no sense to cover a vaccine to prevent an infection but not a barrier method such as a condom," the minister said. She explained the ministry was considering having condoms covered by the public health system and free of charge for "young people with less purchasing power, which have a significant increase in sexually transmitted infec...

Men prescribed erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra and Cialis were 18 per cent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, a new study has found.

When Stephen Miller left his primary care practice to work in public health a little under two years ago, he said, he was shocked by how many cases of syphilis the clinic was treating. For decades, rates of the sexually transmitted infection were low. But the Hamilton County Health Department in Chattanooga — a midsize city surrounded by national forests and nestled into the Appalachian foothills of Tennessee — was seeing several syphilis patients a day, Miller said. A nurse who had worked at the clinic for decades told Miller the wave of patients was a radical change from the norm. What Mille...
