Proposal to fund sexual health products
Overview
We are seeking feedback on a proposal to fund the Cupid brand of internal condoms and water-based lubricant sachets in the community from 1 April 2027.
Internal condoms would be funded with no restrictions, when prescribed for any relevant use.
Water-based lubricant would be funded when prescribed with funded condoms (internal and external condoms).
Both products would give people more options for safer sex and reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We anticipate this proposal would benefit tens of thousands of New Zealanders each year.
