About Climax Control Condoms

"It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion. Two lines of "climax control" condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.

HPV Information

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Center of Disease Control Male Latex Condom Fact Sheet

In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse.

Condoms: Barriers to Bad News

What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?

Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles. Glickman, who has sold condoms by the millions to individuals and organizations such as the Peace Corps and Planned Parenthood, says condoms should be viewed as ordinary, like toothpaste and toilet paper. "People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high."

Blanket city in latex?

Posted by Condom Depot on 05/24/2005

Coming soon to a cinema, Laundromat or nail salon near you: free condoms, if city officials get their way. "We can stop the HIV epidemic with the tools that we have today," Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said yesterday. "We know that condoms prevent HIV - let's get them out everywhere."

Public condom giveaway urged

Coming soon to a cinema, Laundromat or nail salon near you: free condoms, if city officials get their way.
"We can stop the HIV epidemic with the tools that we have today," Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said yesterday. "We know that condoms prevent HIV - let's get them out everywhere."

Making free condoms available at such public places was one of the recommendations in a 44-page draft report issued yesterday by the New York City Commission on HIV/AIDS, which includes city health officials, researchers, AIDS service organizations and persons living with the disease.

But not everyone likes the idea.

"I think it's right to promote safe sex, but I don't think this is the right venue," said Toni Ryan, 40, who was getting her hair braided at the Fanta Hair Braiding Salon in Harlem.

Still, 38-year-old John Payne said he thinks people will "pick up anything that's free."

"There's nothing worse than when you're in the bar at 2 a.m. looking for the elusive two quarters for a condom," said Payne, who was having a drink at Nice Guy Eddie's Bar in the East Village.

The report also called for a better HIV/AIDS curriculum in city schools, saying the current one "does not fully comply with statewide and citywide education mandates."

Education Department officials said they are in the process of updating the HIV/AIDS curriculum.

According to Frieden, New York City is the epicenter of the country's AIDS epidemic. About 4,000 people every year are diagnosed with AIDS in the city and about 1,700 people die because of it. More than 100,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS in the five boroughs.

Mayor Bloomberg, who has said he supports a progressive plan to fight AIDS, will review the plan after a public comment period. But it's not clear whether there will be any protest against the politically thorny issues of condom distribution and needle exchange - even though there have been protests in the past.

Conservative Republican Thomas Ognibene, who wants to repeal Bloomberg's smoking ban, said the mayor is out of touch with the Republican Party.

"Is there anything he can do that's more left wing that can put him in more disrespect with the right wing?" said Ognibene, who is challenging Bloomberg in the primary.
