Occupy Wall Street Protest & HIV/AIDS

What happens during long staged protests? This is exactly what is happening now in New York and other places where “Occupy Wall Street” is going on. Large numbers of young individuals in a passionate frenzy creating social protest.
Some condom companies are offering reduced rates or free condoms at these protests since there will be sexual contact. Most of the people watching the news clips don’t see behind the scenes or what happens.
People are people and things will happen. The biggest concerns are sanitary and health issues for long term protesters. Health officials will need to watch for outbreaks of any STI/STD, along with HIV/AIDS infections that could occur. Expressing yourself and your opinion is one thing, but protecting yourself is vital.
