Education Gap Grows Between Rich and Poor

<p>In NYC public high schools unless the parents opts the child out, condoms are free and available to any student who asks for them in addition to instructions as to how to use them (I am also a condom availbility person at my school). When we give out condoms in school, we give out a minimum of 10 condoms on a clip, because we want kids to know the importance of using a condom after every act.</p>

<p>There is even an app that you can put on your smartphone/blackberry to get free condoms in NYC</p>

<p>[Health</a> Department?s NYC Condom Finder Available on All Smartphones in Time for National Condom Awareness Day, Feb. 14](<a href=“http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2012/pr003-12.shtml]Health”>http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2012/pr003-12.shtml)</p>

<p>To download the NYC Condom Finder application, New Yorkers with Windows, BlackBerry, Apple, or Android mobile phones can search for ‘NYC Condom’ on their respective devices. The NYC Condom Facebook page also has information about how to download the free application and how to access the mobile website.</p>

<p>New Yorkers can call 311 or visit nyc.gov (search: condoms) to find one of the 3,500+ partner venues that offer free NYC Condoms. They can also learn more about condom use and sexual health at NYC Condom - Get Some!.</p>

<p>Sybbie, isn’t it great that condoms are available in NYC? I’m very glad of that. I just wonder why an epic battle is waged in this country on behalf of “women’s health” when men are just as much in need of protection. I have girls and a boy. I would very much prefer that both genders stay healthy.</p>
