Around 100, 000 New Yorkers are living with HIV.  So, the Mayor is introducing a program that will hand out free condoms resembling the city's subway lines. 

The statistics are staggering as this report states, "New York City has the highest AIDS case rate in
the country, with more AIDS cases than Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Miami, and Washington DC combined."

The distribution of millions of NYC condoms - made of standard, lubricated latex - will help promote safe sex to prevent AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

"The condom packets will be modeled after the New York City subway system. Every foil will have a color," said Carol Carozza, spokeswoman for Ansell, the firm producing the NYC condoms - and the parent firm of LifeStyles condoms.
