Using condoms is an important way to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and also pregnancy. However, for many teens and college age kids, affordability and access to condoms may not always be available. The good news is that you can get free condoms from many different places; you just need to know where to look. Luckily, there are many options.
Charities
There are many charities who offer free condoms to people who inquire about certain topics, like HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy and sexual health. Inquire to charities like Gay Men’s Health Crisis, AMFAR, National Minority AIDS Council, Elton John AIDS Foundation, the Magic Johnson Foundation, Africare, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Family Care International and many others. In fact, your local area might have different charities available that focus solely on education and prevention of AIDS.

Nearly all of these organizations will offer free condoms, as well as information, counseling and advice for reducing your risk of contracting the disease during sex.
