Condoms Available in Public Places

Following the AIDS prevention project launched by the national health and family planning departments, as from the second half of this year Beijing, Jiangsu Province and several other cities and provinces began to make condoms available in public places.

Beijing Health Department has ruled that high schools and universities install a specified number of automatic condom vending machines, and that hotels, guesthouses, bars, discos and construction sites patronized by migrant workers provide or sell condoms. It is hoped that eventually all hotels and guesthouses will provide free condoms.
