Responding to an immediate need in our community; the Capital City AIDS Fund (CCAF) has undertaken an aggressive effort to promote HIV prevention to Sacramento area youth. Alarmingly, a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control indicates that HIV infection among youth has skyrocketed. And, 50% of the new infections are in youth under 25 years of age!

In response, CCAF's HIV Prevention and Education Campaign was launched in 2005 and has grown steadily since. Key to the effort has been the installation of dozens of message displays, which include full-color posters and condom dispensers. The displays have been perfected over the years through testing in the field. CCAF's patented displays have proven so effective that some of the nation's largest HIV/AIDS organizations are now using CCAF's displays in locations across the globe, including distant locations in India and Africa.

CCAF is currently distributing more than 6,500 free condoms each month at key bars, restaurants and other locations that cater to our area's youth. CCAF's goal is to double that number over the next 18 months. With each infection that is prevented, we potentially save a life and help prevent a chronic disease that can cost up to $20,000 annually, per individual, to treat. A 7-cent condom can prevent an infection and make a difference.
