Georgia will mail condoms to you for free. Here’s how to find a program near you
Georgia is among 12 states that offer free condoms by mail, and there are many resources to find other kinds of contraceptives for free or at deeply discounted prices.
Given the rise in cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in Georgia and beyond, health advocates say access to methods of birth control must remain available.
For Georgia residents, it is fairly easy to obtain several forms of contraception.
Condoms
People often cite the cost of condoms and the lack of availability as common reasons they don’t use condoms. These organizations address these issues.
