North Carolina now has the 4th highest rate of HIV infection and has the 12th highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation. Mecklenburg County ranks 35th in the nation in terms of STIs. There is clearly much work to be done. Condom Couture is an opportunity for Planned Parenthood to spark a dialogue that will educate the public and promote safe s*x practices by presenting condoms as a vital component
of responsible s*xuality. For 43 years, Planned Parenthood Health Systems has provided thousands of local women, men and teens with annual exams, testing for s*xually transmitted infections, access to teen pregnancy prevention programs, and resources for fact-based s*x education. Your sponsorship is critical in helping Planned Parenthood continue the education and health services they are known for in the community. Planned Parenthood in Charlotte does not receive any government subsidies and relies on private donations from the individuals and foundations. You can be part of the solution by supporting Condom Couture and Planned Parenthood’s efforts to reduce teen pregnancy, STI transmission and expand health and educational services.
