 Brazil’s former president Bolsonaro hospitalized in intensive care with pneumonia, officials say   Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro is being treated in an intensive care unit in Brasilia after developing pneumonia, hospital officials said Friday. Doctors described the 70-year-old’s condition as serious, warning that pneumonia in older patients can progress to septicemia if bacteria enter the bloodstream. Bolsonaro was transferred from prison after experiencing high fever, chills, vomiting, and low oxygen levels, his eldest son, Flávio Bolsonaro, said on X.

 Cameroon Youth Reluctant to Use Condoms, Leading to Health Concerns

Despite condoms being vital for preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancies, many youths feel they reduce sexual pleasure or cause irritation.


A recent study found a sharp decline in condom use among Cameroonian youths, with 50% holding misconceptions, 30% unaware of their importance, and only 10% fully understanding their benefits. Some mistakenly believe condoms are only for preventing pregnancy and overlook their role in stopping diseases like HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea.


In Yaoundé, interviews conducted by some journalist of Mimi Mefo Info revealed a common preference for methods like withdrawal over condoms, with many youths unaware or unwilling to use them. A secondary school teacher noted that lack of sexual education in schools contributes to these issues.


The drop in condom use has affected sales, with most purchases now made by adults, and rural areas seeing even lower awareness. The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern over this global trend, emphasizing the need for better sexual health education.


There is a clear need for increased awareness and education about the benefits of condoms and sexual health, particularly in rural areas where access to contraceptives is limited.
