Condom Fair promotes healthier lifestyles
Games and prizes are just part of the fun at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Condom Fair 2012, which takes place at the Campus Center Mall from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The event is sponsored by the Health Promotion Office at University Health Services.
Approximately 2,000 students are expected to attend this year’s fair, which will feature educational activities meant "to promote a healthier lifestyle through the appropriate and consistent use of condoms, healthy sexual decision-making, and good communication," according to a news release. Organizers said the fair is not meant to promote sexual activity; "however for students who do choose to be sexually active, condoms are the safest way to protect against sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies."
Participants include Planned Parenthood, Life Foundation, Hawai‘i Youth Coalition, Waikiki Health Center, Blood Bank of Hawaii, The National Bone Marrow Registry, American Cancer Society Relay For Life, and the university’s Public Health Hui Ola Pono, Women’s Center/Pau Violence, Alcohol Project, LGBT Center, Counseling & Development Center and Financial Literacy.
