Aids Healthcare Foundation (an advocate in the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Country), has intensified her monthly condom access, education and advocacy initiative; one of the organization’s strategies for reducing the high rate of HIV prevalence in Nigeria.
This initiative sees the positioning of condom dispensers and baskets in strategic places in the FCT (e.g. Hotels, Brothels, ”relaxation joints”, etc.), in a conscious attempt to bring condom(s) closer to the people, especially those who cannot afford or access it conveniently. This outreach goes a step further to raise awareness on the importance of practicing safe sex, which cannot be overemphasized.
At as May, 2013, AHF condom filled dispensers and baskets have been placed in a total of Twenty-six (26) outlets; at various locations in the Federal Capital Territory and Twenty five Thousand Four Hundred and Twelve (25,412) condoms were distributed.
Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is a global organization providing cutting-edge medicine and advocacy to more than 200,000 patients in 28 countries. The organisation is the largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care in the U.S, with headquarters in Los Angeles.
