Care Resource has distributed new condom bowls to businesses throughout Little Havana and Miami Beach to increase access to free condoms for residents. Condoms are one of the simplest, safest and most effective ways of preventing the spread of the HIV virus. But in many neighborhoods, they are not easily accessible.
HIV testing and management services are a large part of Care Resource’s focus. Care Resource provides HIV/STD testing, HIV/STD education, PrEP/PEP services and free condoms.
According to Ron Ledain, MBA, Director of Health Promotion and Linkage Services with Care Resource, Los condones se han vuelto más caros y no son asequibles ni accesibles para todos. Los programas de distribución de condones como este ayudan a las empresas, organizaciones locales y agencias de salud pública a hacer que los condones gratuitos sean accesibles y abundantes para prevenir la propagación del VIH / SIDA y otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ITS). Hoy en día, aunque muchas personas se sienten protegidas contra el VIH porque toman PrEP, es importante recordar que todavía se necesitan condones para protegernos contra las ITS ”.
