A strange title for an article in TOI today. The full form may be difficult to guess. Let me reveal the suspense, Condoms Vending Machines @ call centre. Oh Unholy camel in spirited words.
Prevention of HIV & AIDS has taken a precedence over the subject of encouraging promiscuity and pre-martial sex. The time has come to move away from A B C concept. Abstainence, Being faithful has given way to condomnisation. Despite survillence cameras installed in call centres Managers agree to the fact if there is consensual sex nobody can prevent them. And it is none of their business too, if anything takes place beyond the working hours or before the working hours. It is a matter of privacy invasion.
The installation of Condom Vending Machine @ call centres is a great leap ahead of times. As it is I pills are freely dispensed in pharmacy shops. Along with CVC, a dispenser for I pills will be in order.
I know that it would seem outrageous for moral brigade that such a step is being initiated by prevention of AIDS committee. But we can t ignore the fact AIDs epidemic is fast spreading in India among the literate class rather ill-literate class. Earlier drivers were having the highest incidence of AIDS now they are well educated regarding the usage of condoms due to sustained campaign and impact of Shilpa shetty kissing campaign.
I am sure it is welcome move for the generation next to have their share of fun and prevent pregnancy more than AIDS. Kudos to the AIDS committee for devising such a wonderful concept, to make condoms available " at arms length of desire "
