Summary
Austin’s free condom delivery service is sparking debate—but it’s not funded by city taxes. Instead, condoms are supplied free by the Texas Department of State Health Services, with purchases covered by federal HIV prevention grants. Staff are funded through a federal initiative to end the HIV epidemic. Targeting high-risk areas, the program supports broader public health efforts including testing, treatment, and education. Last year, over 290,000 condoms were distributed via home delivery, community groups, and clinics. Condoms remain one of the most effective tools for preventing HIV and STIs—proven, practical, and lifesaving. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
