All Wrapped Up

The NYC subway system doesn't just want you to ride their train system safely, they also want you to be safe when riding your partner(s). They are about to unveil their own brand of condoms. The condoms will come in packets with a variety of colors representing the different subway lines. They'll be handed out free as part of a massive safe-sex campaign later this year, and will be available when you purchase tokens, at city hall, city run health facilities and at gay venues.

"The condom packets will be modeled after the New York City subway system. Every foil will have a color," Carol Carozza, spokesperson for Ansell, the firm producing the NYC condoms told the Post.

Something I wasn't aware of is that AIDS is the third-leading cause of death in NYC. It is now behind only cancer and heart disease. All the more reason to keep this disease in the spotlight and to help find a cure.
