65 Million Condoms For Carnival
Brazilian Government Passes out 65 Million Condoms to Party Goers
Rio de Janeiro- The Party is Building up to a Sexual Fever!!! and the Brazilian Government knows it. The government reported Friday that they will distribute 65 million condoms free for the Brazilian Carnival goers this month.
Brazil has an aggressive anit HIV and aids campaign praised by the UN. Each Month more than 20 million condoms are distributed.
“In addition to the 45 million condoms we already distribute on a monthly basis, we’re increasing that amount this month so there can be enough condoms distributed at all the parties and events that take place during Carnival,” said Mariangela Simao, director of the national HIV-AIDS program in the capital, Brasilia.
The country plans to spend roughly $36 million to purchase 1.2 billion condoms this year _ making it the world’s No. 1 government buyer, Simao said. Now that is a lot of sex!!
Church officials in Brazil, home to the world’s largest Roman Catholic population, have opposed the condom program.
Also Friday, the Health Ministry hosted a “Mature Woman’s Block Party” in Rio de Janeiro to highlight its latest target demographic: women over the age of 50, about 70 percent of whom do not use condoms, according to the ministry.
“We senior citizens are still sexually active nowadays, so these types of campaigns are very important,” said Ana Leila Goncalves, a 62-year-old grandmother who took part in the event.
This is why Brazil is known as the sexiest place on the planet.
