Why is it so hard for teenagers to buy condoms even after the pandemic, and what can be done about it?

Even after the pandemic, difficulties in accessing condoms and contraception for teenagers remain high: before COVID-19, 29-30% experienced challenges, while after, it's 37-38%. This is not only due to clinic disruptions but also fear of judgment, not knowing where to turn, and closed school health offices. It's important to simply talk to teenagers, explain that seeing a doctor and buying protective measures is normal, and support programs that make these services more accessible. If there are health concerns, it's better to consult a specialist.
