Speaking in Lagos during a media training on HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) hosted by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), Taofeek Adeleye, Senior Manager for Prevention Programmes, emphasized that oil-based materials degrade latex condoms, increasing the risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
He advised that individuals should exclusively utilize approved water-based lubricants designed for sexual health.
Addressing scenarios where commercial lubricants are unavailable, Adeleye noted that if saliva must be used, a woman should use her own rather than relying on a partner's to minimize foreign bacterial exposure.

He further urged sexually active individuals to select properly fitted condoms to ensure maximum barrier protection and reduce the likelihood of slippage or breakage.
