About Wrap Up, Alexandria and Condom Distribution Programs
ACAP initiated this program, together with the City and many community partners, to combat a multi-year increase in sexually transmitted infections among youth and other at-risk populations.
This condom distribution program is not a stand-alone effort. ACAP works to educate youth and their families on sexuality education and pregnancy prevention throughout the city. ACAP targets high-risk populations and coordinates with Alexandria City Public Schools to equip all youth with comprehensive sexuality education and skills to prevent pregnancy and STIs.
- According to the CDC, research has shown that condom distribution programs:
- Increase condom use, condom acquisition, and condom carrying
- Promote delayed sexual initiation or abstinence among youth
- Provide cost-effective and cost-saving outcomes on future medical care costs by preventing HIV infections
- Significantly affect condom use behaviors and help reduce HIV/STD risk among a wide range of at-risk groups
