Iran: Condoms on sale in public places
Tehran, 18 April (AKI) - Five automatic condom dispensers have been installed in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
"From these automatic dispensers, you can buy condoms as well as syringes," said Mohammad Reza Jahani, head of a centre that is fighting drug dependence.
In the past, Iran provided free syringes to drug addicts, but promoting condom use to avoid the spread of sexual diseases during sex is unprecedented.
Anyone who has sexual relations outside marriage faces severe punishment under the law.
According to the latest statistics on the fight against drug addiction, at least 1.3 million Iranians use drugs on a daily basis.
Of the total, 45 percent of Iranian drug addicts regularly use heroin and crack, 8 percent have substituted drugs with methadone tablets, while the rest smoked opium. Last year nine people died each day from drug use, according to official sources.

Condoms prevent conception. It is a man's right to have children. His wife can not prevent him this right. A woman can not use any type of birth control as it is haraam and prevents her husband from being a father and having sons. A woman can only use birth control if it is for a medical reason like she has irregular periods and needs to straighten them out in order to become pregnant.
Scots methadone costs 'increase by 25%' in five years «
Scotland’s methadone programme now costs more than £15m a year, according to the latest official statistics.
The ISD Scotland figures represent a rise of 25% over the past five years.
Methadone prescribing rates rose by 9% in the same period, despite the new strategy to concentrate on recovery from addiction rather than maintenance.
The report also revealed a total of 10,325 people entered drug treatment services in 2009-10, with two-thirds of those using heroin.
Drug injecting remains a problem, with 28% of heroin users taking the drug intravenously in the month before they sought treatment.
The average daily spend on drugs for those entering treatment in the past year was £43. Heroin users spent on average £33, while cocaine users spent on average £108 a day.
But the number of cocaine users entering treatment has dropped, from more than 1,200 in 2008-09, to about 750 in 2009-10.
The number of crack cocaine users who entered treatment in the past year has also nearly halved, compared with 2008-09 – although the vast majority of users – 47% – continue to be concentrated in the Grampian health board area.
