THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS LAUNCHING A NEW AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF H-I-V AND S-T-D’S.
THE CAMPAIGN IS CALLED: “SAVE LIVES…CONDOMIZE”…STRESSING THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING A CONDOM DURING SEX. PUBLIC HEALTH SPOKESPERSON SABRINA MILLER SAYS CONDOMS ARE 95 PERCENT EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING INFECTION.
MILLER ADDS IT’S A MESSAGE PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN TO.
.
MILLER SAYS ILLINOIS RANKS SEVENTH IN THE NATION FOR THE NUMBER OF H-I-V INFECTIONS…AND FIFTH FOR CASES OF AIDS. CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHEA ARE ALSO STILL A PROBLEM…ESPECIALLY IN TEENS. AS PART OF THE CAMPAIGN…MANY LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND S-T-D CLINICS ARE GIVING AWAY FREE CONDOMS.
