Condom Usage Stats by Canadian Soldiers May be Misleading



Condom usage by Canadian military personnel has increased dramatically since 2002. More than 2000 Canadian troops are deployed in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

In 1999, Canadian soldiers used 295,200 condoms supplied free of charge, no questions asked, by National Defence. That number fell to 25,355 condoms in 2002, but has been increasing ever since, and reached more than 300,000 in 2005.

Canadian military authorities give no explanation for the fluctuating numbers, but the increases may appear more dramatic than they really are. Year over year condom distribution to the Canadian military looks like this:

-1998: 219,312 condoms. Cost: ,168

-1999: 295,200 condoms. Cost: 0,483

-2000: 158,991 condoms. Cost: ,621

-2001: 84,684 condoms. Cost: ,438

-2002: 25,355 condoms. Cost: ,324

-2003: 173,769 condoms. Cost: ,958

-2004: 285,751 condoms. Cost: ,113

-2005-March 2006: 306,522 condoms. Cost: ,541

In other words, there were more condoms purchased for distribution in 1999 than in 2004. Although Canadian military authorities offer no explanation, the lower numbers in 2001 and 2002 look like aberrations, possibly explained by differences in reporting methods.

In the Canadian forces sex between military personnel is strictly forbidden, as is sex between military and non-military personnel such as journalists, interpreters and other support staff.

The Canadian military distributes free condoms to help keep soldiers safe and healthy. Both at home and abroad the official policy is "Don't ask, don't tell."
