NYC Health Department Launches iPhone Free Condoms App

The New York City Health Department has taken another step in their fight against AIDS with the unveiling of their  iPhone Free Condoms app. The app allows users to find free condoms at over 3000  community centers, health clinics, neighborhood shops, and even  tattoo parlors and barber shops. 

The program uses GPS or users can manually put in their zip code to get directions to the five closest distribution centers in their area. It also offers hours of operations, what types of  safe sex products that are available, and tips on how to use a condom.

"We want New York City to be the safest city in the world to have sex,"said Dr. Monica Sweeney, NYC Health Department Assistant Commissioner for its Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control. "A lot of people come here for that, so want them to practice safer sex."


New Yorkers can also download the app from  the Android market or go to www.nyc.gov/health and type in their zip code to find locations with free NYC Condoms.

The New York City Health Department gave out more than 36 million free condoms in 2010.
