Nunavut teens get condoms for safe sex campaign
February 16, 2010 |13:06 | Gossips By : Team X
Teens in Nunavut are getting flavoured condoms as part of a campaign to stop a rise in sexually transmitted infections. "Nunavut has very high rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea infections, and this campaign is designed to change attitudes towards condom use," Nunavut's chief medical officer of health Dr. Isaac Sobol, told a news conference last week.
"Some research in other jurisdictions have shown that flavoured condoms, coloured condoms are very popular with kids." It's part of a new program called I Respect Myself. The website discusses how to talk about sex, relationships, safer sex, STIs and pregnancy. One of the posters for the campaign shows a naked woman covering herself with a black and yellow hazard sign that says "personal protective equipment required beyond this point."
