Latex barriers and lubricant will be distributed through the SHEP office, “Condom Zaps,” condomo egg machines, information tables, health fairs, and special events.
Condom Zaps:
Once per month, Wardenburg’s SHPE Program and Boulder County AIDS Project will collaborate and distribute safer sex kits in three area bars. Prior bar arrangements will be made by Wardenburg and BCAP Outreach Coordinators. Interested Sexual Health Peer Educators will volunteer for the night.
