Russia has banned the widely popular Durex condoms over a bureaucratic issue regarding the products' registration, according to the country's health authorities.
俄罗斯卫生部门日前宣布，全国境内广泛使用的杜蕾斯避孕套由于产品登记的官方原因，即日起全面禁售。
"They (Durex condoms) are not registered in the proper manner," said Mikhail Murashko, the head of the federal healthcare watchdog, according to Russian news agencies. "The company must observe the law."
据俄罗斯新闻机构报道，俄罗斯联邦卫生监督机构高层官员米哈伊尔·穆拉什科表示："他们（杜蕾斯避孕套）没有采取正确的登记方式。该公司必须遵守相关法律。"
Murashko said the condoms could be back on the market if their producer, British household goods firm Reckitt Benckiser, fulfilled the appropriate registration procedures.
穆拉什科称，只要英国日用品公司利洁时能够正确地完成登记流程，杜蕾斯还是可以回归俄罗斯市场的。

Durex is a leading condom brand on the Russian market and accounts for one-quarter of condoms sale in the country, according to local media.
据当地媒体报道，杜蕾斯是俄罗斯避孕套市场的一个主导品牌，占据了俄罗斯该领域近四分之一的市场。
Murashko said there would be no shortage of condoms in the country because Durex is "only one of the brands" among more than 60 available.
穆拉什科还表示，俄罗斯不会出现避孕套短缺问题，因为杜蕾斯只是60多种品牌中的"其中之一而已。
Russia has struggled to control sexually transmitted diseases and infections, with the total number of registered HIV cases in the country exceeded one million in late 2015. The government's HIV/Aids prevention policy focuses on treatment while neglecting prevention drives such as sex education in schools, with the number of people infected with the virus soaring as a result, experts say.
2015年底，俄罗斯登记HIV感染总人数超过100万人，因而俄罗斯也在努力控制性传播疾病和感染。有关专家表示，政府部门的HIV/艾滋病预防政策重点关注的是治疗方面，而忽略了预防措施（比如学校的性教育），导致感染艾滋病毒的人数迅速增加。
A 2015 public health campaign in Moscow urged people to be faithful to their partners rather than promoting condom use.
2015年莫斯科一项公共卫生运动号召人们忠诚于伴侣，而不是推广避孕套的使用。
