On December 1 of each year, World AIDS Day is held as chance for people all over the world to unite together to fight against and show support for those living with HIV. Because of that, Durex has launched a worldwide campaign to create the world’s first-ever official safe sex emoji. That’s right.
Sex talk is global and so are emojis. But there's something missing. How about an official #CondomEmoji ? https://t.co/dlzwNl4eWD

It may be easy to suggest sex with emojis, but there’s nothing that shows safe sex. Now, Durex is encouraging its customers to call upon the Unicode Consortium, who oversee the introduction of new emoji, to introduce a condom emoji in their next update.
As per Durex, an official safe sex emoji will enable young people to overcome embarassment around the discussion of safe sex.
They also say that the condom emoji could encourage conversation and raise awareness of the importance of using condoms in protecting aganist sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and AIDS.
