Responding to an immediate need in our community; the Capital City AIDS Fund (CCAF) has undertaken an aggressive effort to promote HIV and STI prevention to Sacramento area youth. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control indicates that HIV and STI infections among youth have skyrocketed. Alarmingly, 60% of HIV+ youth do not know they are HIV+.

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 free condom dispensers, which include full-color posters. The displays have been perfected over the years through testing in the field. These patented dispensers have proven so effective that college campuses and public health agencies are now using CCAF's dispensers in locations across the globe, including distant locations in India and Africa.

In a typical year, CCAF distributes over 500,000 free condom and lube packets at key bars, restaurants and other locations that cater to our area’s youth. 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 HIV and STI infections and make a difference.
