Brazilian health officials have kicked off an AIDS awareness campaign and will hand out 55 million condoms during the annual Carnival festival that begins next week.
A new television ad features a talking condom that loudly reminds young people to take him along when they go out to party.
Health Minister Jose Temporao said Saturday that this year’s campaign is focusing on educating young women and young gay men to use protection.
The slogan is: “The condom. For love, passion or just sex. Always use it.”
Last year the government distributed nearly 500 million free condoms throughout Brazil, or an average 2.6 condoms for every citizen.
The government hasn’t said how many will be handed out this year.
A Very Good sensible idea.
Although just imagine the uproar and I mean uproar in the USA if the US government were to do this?
