DC HIV/AIDS Administration Out of Condoms

The DC Department of Health HIV/AIDS Administration long troubled Condom Distribution Program has hit yet another roadblock. They ran out of condoms.

A local HIV/AIDS organization that was told they could pick up thousands of condoms this week was told this morning that the HIV/AIDS Administration is cleaned out and will not have any condoms to distribute for at least a week.

The shortage raises questions about the overall distribution of condoms. On two separate occasions in 2006 and in 2007, the HIV/AIDS Administration pledged to distribute a million condoms. As a basis of comparison The New York City Health Department distributes anywhere from three to five million condoms each month.

But while the HIV/AIDS administration pledged on two separate occassions to distribute a million condoms it now seems pretty obvious based on the numbers that they never even had a million condoms to distribute.

Good God! Are these people incompetent? How hard can it be to distribute 1,000,000 condoms in a city of 600,000 people.

I am guessing that a part of the problem is that they have hired government bureaucrats rather than smart and savvy organizers to run the condom distribution program.

Mayor Fenty, if you want the job done right, I am available
