Like social networking and sexual health? Then the NYC Department of Public Health's new Facebook page for condoms is made for you. The site, which aims to promote sexual health and to raise awarenesss of the city's HIV statistics, gives users the opportunity to send "e-condoms". Over 6500 condoms have been sent as of Thursday afternoon, although a ranking of the senders has revealed a bunch have been sent by employees of the health department's communications office. Facts listed on the site include that NYC has more HIV cases than LA, San Francisco, DC, and Miami combined, and that one in four MSM in Chelsea has HIV. The site also features health updates from the health department and lively short videos encouraging condom use.
For Valentine's Day 2007, the City's health department introduced the official "city condom"; since it's introduction, over 70 million have been given away.
