After Health Department's announcement that one in four New Yorkers has genital herpes (compared with the national average of one in five Americans), condom maker Trojan is distributing condoms in all five boroughs today.
Per the press release titled, "TROJAN GIVES OUT THOUSANDS OF FREE CONDOMS TO STOP BLISTERING NEW YORK 'HEAT' OF ANOTHER KIND," here are the locations and times of where and when you can get free condoms:
Friday, June 13: 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Columbus Circle (Manhattan)
Atlantic Terminal (Brooklyn)
Staten Island - White Ferry Terminal
Queensboro Plaza (Queens)
149th St Grand Concourse (Bronx)
Friday, June 13: 11:30AM – 3:00 PM
Hell’s Kitchen 45th + 9th (Manhattan)
Borough Hall (Brooklyn)
Astoria – 30th St (Queens)
Wall Street (Manhattan)
Upper East Side (Manhattan)
Trojan will also be urging people to sign a pledge to use condoms during sexual activities to prevent the spread of genital herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases. And NYC has its own official free condom, which is made by Lifestyles and can be found at various locations around the city.

don't get these condoms, folks. they are the bootleg ones made in china
be warn, it's the bootleg condoms from china!
Quick question. Who sat on the committee to decide where and at what hours those condoms were to be distributed? Somebody was paid for those decisions.
hey guys, i hear they're bootleg straight out of china land!
How about not having sex...I think that works even better than condoms
oh, BTW condoms don't protect you from herpes. its all a ploy by the makers of Trojans to make money while pretending to be "socially responsible"
A condom will give you some protection from herpes simplex 2. It's been proven in blind studies, e.g. A.I.M. V143, 10, p707-713. So stop spreading disinformation, you brooklyn dumbass!
"How about not having sex...I think that works even better than condoms"
Its either that, or masturbate . . . VIGOROUSLY! *fap fap fap
But seriously, thats not an option we're willing to explore right now TX. My jimmy needs to be waxed on a regular basis.
I have never understood why they called them "Trojans". The Trojans were invaded and butchered by the Romans who hid inside a wooden horse. It's like they called their condoms "Victim" or "Invaded".
Works for some, I guess.
Staten Island - White Ferry Terminal
Was there this morning--didn't see 'em.
BTW, it's Whitehall not White--named for Whitehall Street in Lower Manhattan
It's true, condoms will only marginally protect you from herpes. Look at athletes -- they get herpes just from skin contact thigh to thigh, or abdomen to abdomen.
On the other hand, herpes is apparently not as bad as people think, otherwise most people who have it and don't know it wouldn't be so blissfully unaware.... And apparently a LOT of people have it and don't know it.
And by the way, cold sores are herpes, in case you didn't know! And these days, they often come from genital herpes, due to oral sex. You can catch it mouth to genital, and mouth to mouth! So are people going to stop kissing? Are men going to stop wanting to receive oral sex? Will they wear condoms for oral sex when they don't want to wear them for other sex in the first place? Ha haha ha ha ha!
Trojan is just using the stigma around the illness as a sort of backwards way of promoting condom use.
All that said, the condom is your friend. Much better for your health than the Pill, and much more reliable. Men ought to use them anyway, instead of relying on women to mess with their hormones. If men knew what the pill entails for women (health, expense, and risk wise), they'd never take one themselves. They have the good sense to delegate all the health risk to women.
Women! The condom is your friend!
using a condom is like eating food with plastic wrap on it. That being said. use one, especially if you are poor and not good looking. we don't need more ugly kids on welfare in the world.
Trojan is just using the genital herpes "fear" to promote and market their products. Much like how the NY blood band used the 9/11 o lure people into giving blood.
Condoms don't prevent the spread of herpes.
Do condoms prevent the spread of Pamela Anderson?
^ No, but liposuction does.
