Condoms on the Subway
New York City launched it’s condom campaign today to coincide with Valentine’s Day. I just got my hands on some (in honor of the subway design, they were being handed out at subway stations) and I love the design so much, I don’t think I’ll actually want to use them. But I certainly hope others will! New York City has 100,000 residents living with HIV so continuing education and prevention is crucial. These condoms are part of a campaign by Mayor Bloomberg to reduce HIV rates and overall STI rates in New York City.
This condom launch also coincides with National Condom Week!
