College students are busy, busy, busy buying books in preparation for the upcoming semester. But you know what they really need to stock up on? You guessed it: condoms. The Great American Condom Campaign (GACC) knows this, so they’re giving away 500 condoms to each student who signs up for “SafeSite,” a safe-sex advocacy campaign that gets students to distribute free prophylactics at their school.
Trojan donates over 1 million latex sheaths to the program annually in hopes that the participating students “educate their peers about sexual health, and organize to improve the policies that affect young people’s health and lives.” The program’s aim is to combat what they consider the two main barriers to safe-sex that young people encounter: cost and stigma. “Too few students can get affordable condoms on their campus, and the social stigma and embarrassment young people are made to feel for being responsible about their sexual health is simply ridiculous,” says an advocate of the program. Eager students at 1,000 colleges—especially those in underserved institutions like community colleges and in areas where abstinence-only education dominates—are spreading condoms and the safe-sex message across campuses everywhere.
