In area bars
Health Unit kicks off
Safe Sex campaign
Valentine's Day is the day lovers
traditionally celebrate love.
This year, February 14 will also
kick-off a Safer Sex Bar campaign
in. local bars.
The goal of the Bruce -Grey -
Owen Sound Health Unit's cam-
paign is to raise awareness about
HIV infection and AIDS (Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
among sexually active adults in
Grey and Bruce Counties.
The campaign will make con-
doms, in attractive pink Valentine's
cards packages decorated with
hearts, and AIDS information avail-
able to bar patrons. Written on the
cards will be the campaign's theme,
"For All The Lovers Who Care,
Thank You". •
The health unit had success with
this campaign several years ago and
decided to use the campaign again
because of "positive feedback from
bar owners and patrons," said AIDS
Education Program ,Manager Sue
Askin.
"Making accurate , information
accessible to people in a variety of
settings is critical,". she said. "The
rate of HIV infection among wom-
en and young adults is still increas-
ing. We need to keep getting out
the message that HIY/AIDS . is
preventable and that people can use
their knowledge to protect them-
°selves."
The campaign is designed to help
people associate that the idea of
being responsible is part of what
Safe sex is about, she said.
"The condoms provide a positive
message and remind us of the re-
sponsibility each person has for his
or her own health. People who care
about themselves and others will be
using condoms.".
