About the Chicago Community Condom Project

Since the 80’s CDPH has made condoms available to the public.
Today, CDPH is reaching 10 million condoms distributed each year through city clinics, community based organizations, community health centers, local businesses such as night-clubs, barber shops and churches.
The project is aligned with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, the U.S Department of Human Services, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention, and the Healthy Chicago Plan.
The project is also part of the National Female Condom Coalition and partners with the Chicago Female Condom Campaign to increase access and availability to Female Condoms.
