WRAP IT UP! NYC CONDOM CONTEST…

WRAP IT UP! NYC CONDOM CONTEST…

There’s definitely nothing wrong with a lil’ bump and grind especially when you’re doing it right! In a society where STD’s and HIV/AIDS is rampant, the folks over at New York City’s Health Department want to make sure that if you’re going to get busy at least wrap it up. In December 2009, the city’s Health Department launched a contest to redesign the wrapper of its N.Y.C condom brand. Out of 600 entries the city has narrowed it down to five finalists, and now New Yorkers can get involved by voting for their favorite condom wrapper on www.nyc.gov/health or on Facebook. The winning design will be announced on February 28^th and will be the face of thousands of free condoms that are handed out throughout the city. According to the Health Department, NYC has handed out 119 million condoms since 2007, including 41.5 million last year! Wow, that’s a lot of condoms!

Health Commissioner Thomas Farley hopes that the contest will promote HIV/AIDS awareness and encourage New Yorkers to wrap it up. “We still face an epidemic of HIV/AIDS and high rates of other sexually transmitted diseases,” said Farley. “When used correctly and consistently, condoms can prevent these infections as well as intended pregnancies.”

There’s no excuse not to use a condom especially when they’re FREE!
