T&T officials to distribute free condoms during Carnival season
Thursday, 31 January 2008
Officials in Trinidad and Tobago say they will be distributing over 66,000 free condoms in an attempt to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies at the climax of this year's Carnival.
Statistics have revealed that there is a 15 per cent increase in the number of births in Trinidad and Tobago nine months after Carnival each year.
The group, Advocates for Safe Parenthood, has appealed to nationals and visitors alike to protect themselves from the consequences of unsafe sex.
The Inter-Religious Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago also appealed to citizens and visitors to refrain from "undesirable and unacceptable" activities during the 2008 Carnival celebrations in the country.
Carnival will climax with the parade of costumed bands and revellers next Monday and Tuesday.
