<h1>A Kenyan man has made headlines following a suit he filed at the country’s court against three key institutions whose alleged negligence he claims led to him contracting a Sexually Transmitted Disease due to a substandard condom he had used.</h1>

The unnamed man has reportedly sued the quality control body, the tax revenue authority and pharmaceutical company, Beta Healthcare for damages, saying their <a href="http://www.pulse.com.gh/filla/i-have-slept-with-88-8-of-the-girls-guy-in-trouble-id7942147.html" id="9900180f-5ae1-51da-88c0-d26535eae541">respective actions and inactions </a>made him buy the said condom which burst during a sexual intercourse.

He said the condom burst made him contract an undisclosed STD which he ignorantly transmitted to his wife.

“I was having sexual intercourse with the woman, the said condom broke, a fact which I only realised after the act. That at the time, I brushed the incident [aside] as a non-issue and three days later I still had sexual intercourse with my wife,” he recounted.

The plaintiff is reported to have said in his affidavit that between January and October 2014, he bought the ‘substandard’ condoms on separate dates and used. However, on October 13 the same year, he noticed some rashes on his genital accompanied by painful urination.

He said: “I became extremely worried and it was then that I remembered the condom burst that had taken place nine days earlier. I immediately went to a traditional healer and sought some traditional herbal medicine which eased my pain.”

The aggrieved man says the incident has not only had a psychological effect on him, but also led to the loss of his family.

“My wife then became estranged and later left me for another man. After my wife left me, I became distressed, burdened with guilt and even had a mental breakdown, which led me to be an alcoholic and I lost my job,” he claimed.

He fears he may have contracted HIV as a result of the condom burst.
