Would You Order A Condom from A Delivery Guy?
You are in the middle of a passionate love-making and you realize you don't have a condom at hand, but there's no need to panic: you can call the condom delivery guy on a bike!
Switzerland has launched an unique campaign to fight against AIDS. (PhotoXPress)
Condom delivery in three Swiss towns
The new Swiss initiative is a part of a larger multimedia campaign for fight against AIDS, which is sponsored by the Swiss AIDS Foundation and the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health. A phone call is enough for a delivery guy to hop on his bike and bring the hardly awaited item to the person who ordered it. The deliverers are cycling around three Swiss cities, Geneva, Zurich and Bern, and deliver packets of three condoms, worth 8 Swiss franks (roughly almost 6 euros or 8 dollars).
They come before you come!
Bettina Maeschli, the representative of the Swiss AIDS foundation, which is the largest Swiss organization for fight against AIDS, said that the main purpose is to remind people of safe sex rules and the necessity to use condoms in unexpected and unplanned situations. The cyclists deliver condoms anywhere they are needed without any judgment or prejudice. The first statistics about the number of delivered condoms will soon be available but the fact that people spread the positive message about the initiative is a good enough result for now.
''We wanted to spread the message in an unusual way so that people would become more aware about the problem'', says Maeschli. The action under the catchy slogan ''We come before you come!'' will last in July and August and is a part of a bigger campaign ''Love Life Stop AIDS'' .
Swiss campaign against AIDS has been a success for more than 20 years
The campaign Stop AIDS is one of the longest running campaigns (it started in 1987) and is one of the most influential programs of awareness and fight against AIDS in the world. Their first target were homosexual men but when the disease spread the campaign also spread to capture all segments of the population.
The campaign has been running for its twelfth year in a row. The main goals are to increase the use of condoms, reduce discrimination of people infected with HIV and increase solidarity among the infected and the healthy. In March this year, their campaign which sent extra small condoms for boys until 12 years of age on the market, raised a lot of attention.
