NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials announced a new campaign Friday to promote New York City's condom giveaway program, which distributes tens of millions of condoms annually in an effort to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies.

"We have successfully wrapped this city in high-quality latex," city Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett said at a news conference at the Museum of Sex.

The new condom campaign will include subway ads and social media ads with the message, "Be sexy, be safe."

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, the assistant health commissioner in charge of HIV prevention programs, said the department was announcing the campaign at the Museum of Sex in order to make the point that sexual pleasure and disease prevention are not mutually exclusive.

For years after Viagra first came out, one of the fastest growing populations with new HIV infection were seniors in retirement communities.

Condoms should be used unless you're actively trying to make a baby. Period.
