NEW YORK, NY February 14, 2007 —In a world full of brands – New York City is putting its name on an old fashioned product…a condom!
REPORTER: The city’s health department unveiled the NYC brand condom and handed 150,000 out to commuters this morning. It will continue to make them free from now on in an attempt to prevent HIV and other STDs.
