Don't Carry Condoms in D.C. -- You Could Be Charged With Prostitution
by Alex DiBranco
Published January 07, 2010 @ 08:42AM PT
Think you might get lucky tonight? Well, if you're in D.C., don't bring more than two condoms in your purse, or you could be arrested as a prostitute.
In D.C., police can declare "Prostitution Free Zones" where officers can pick up (I mean, arrest) anyone suspected of sex work. And they've been accused of using carrying three or more condoms as proof of intent to sell sex -- rather than intent to spend the weekend getting jiggy with a guy.
But as RH Reality Check points out, the real danger of this practice falls to people who actually are sex workers. [Update: due to some confusion in articles that have picked this story up, we've changed the term "law" to "practice," since by "law" we intended to refer to the declaration of Prostitution Free Zones, as distinguished from the enforcement practice of using condoms as evidence.] It pushes them to abandon safe sex techniques, putting their own health at risk as well as that of the general population. Add to this the fear of arrest or harassment that keeps sex workers from seeking health care, and you have a recipe for disaster. Everybody should know by now that the nation's capital has a rampant problem with HIV/AIDS; this backwards practice contributes to its spread (at three times the rate that characterizes a severe epidemic). It's not like you can expect the johns to bring their own rubbers.
This practice prioritizes making commercial areas look clean and pretty lady-free, not protecting the public's health. But the root of the problem isn't this one practice: it's the criminalization of sex work. If you want to criminalize something, stick to pimping -- after all, many of these women have been trafficked unwillingly and subjected to violence. If they weren't so afraid of being arrested for stepping forward to condemn their pimps, we'd have a better chance of finding the true criminals in this situation.
true. but i think thats not really the issue t_coffee_or_me ..
thing is, for these kinds of laws, the sex workers will suffer the most, they will be more prone to serious sickness which they can pass on to their "customers" and so on. now, you can say that it is in their own risk when they entered that kind of well, business but they too have the right of protecting themselves against fatal health risks.

She should buy a pack, use all but 2 in the store from where she bought and then go home.

That was my thought Biju! I mean are they going to stop women on their way home from the pharmacy? Not to mention there are places that give condoms away for free in places like DC for people who are to poor to buy them, what if they stop someone who's leaving one of these places after filling their pockets?

condoms available only by packet not single one, if someone buy a packet and on the way if police arrest her?

So Khalid, if your wife was stopped by the police in Washington DC, she could be arrested for being a prostitute if she's carrying condoms. I don't think that's very fair.
what are you ?? some married guy condom inspector??? checking every one's car. Need to check your car now how many pills you have.
This isn't about men carrying condoms this is about women carrying condoms.
Yes I agree it is also used for birth control
what if a married man carries condom and hides in his car where he doesnt have any relationship with his wife... i know some guys who are hiding condoms in their car...
you mean make it like a rain coat. :P
Darude if you want it any bigger ....just cut open the other end....lol
and after aaaaaaalllllllllll this time it was the condom topic that landed you on forum once again. You perv.Now guess soon Tigasin will also land and express his dirty feelings.
Bah, condoms are for having water balloon fights. A single and unmarried man wouldn't have any need for one except to use in a good balloon fight as he clearly would never have sex until marriage.
what size do you use. i use xxs size :D
Condoms aren't just for people practicing "illegal" sex Khalid, married couples use them to for birth control.
HIV Causes and Prevention
HIV Causes and Prevention
HIV is short for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, the root cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS. Basically, AIDS is a failure of the immune system and not a separate disease. Today, it has become an epidemic that takes millions of lives across the world.
HIV is a grave problem for several reasons.
It can replicate itself and spread easily within the body.
The body does not get much time to recognize and develop a vaccine against this virus.
HIV attacks the T-helper lymphocyte cells, an important part of the immune system.
Causes of HIV
Direct exchange of HIV happens through blood, semen, pre-ejaculate, breast milk and vaginal fluid. The reasons for HIV infection include use the contaminated needles, unprotected sexual intercourse, blood transfusions or blood products, vertical transmission (from the mother to baby) and breast milk.
Symptoms of HIV
Fever
Swollen glands
Sore throat
Rash
Painful muscles and joints
Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Ulcers
Flu-like symptoms
Prevention of HIV
Till now, no cure or vaccine has been developed to eradicate HIV or AIDS completely. This is due to the rapid mutation of the virus in the patient’s body, resulting in multiple strands. Even if there is vaccine for one strand, the others may be resistant and continue to infect people.
At best, you can take adequate measure to prevent HIV infection and avoid exposure to the virus. There are several ways to do this:
Using condoms and avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse
Not breast-feeding your children if you are HIV+
Not sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia
Using sterile equipment, for purposes like surgery, tattooing and body piercing
People at high risk include:
Male homosexuals
Prostitutes
Injecting drug users
Sexual partners of infected people
In view of the rising HIV infected patients, blood and blood products in many countries are screened and heat-treated to kill any infections before using them for patients. However, such practices are mostly used in developed countries only while the developing countries often neglect verification before blood transfusion or operations.
By conducting blood tests, doctors can detect antibodies for HIV and identify infected people. However, antibodies to HIV can take as long as three months to appear in the blood after infection. So, many people may test as negative but may actually be infected with HIV. Thus, this is no confirmation whether a person is HIV infected or not.
The long latent stage between HIV infection and development of AIDS makes it difficult to control the spread of this disease. Moreover, HIV can be asymptomatic, which implies that people may be unaware that they are infected till they reach a critical stage.
Recently, a technique called contact tracing has been introduced in US and UK. This involves people diagnosed with HIV who are willing to identify people they may have put at risk of infection or may have infected so that those people can be recommended to take HIV tests. This allows wider testing for potential HIV patients and reduces chances of further transmission of the disease.

We used to use them as water balloons during Holi....makes massive and some times unbreakable water balloons.....(back then they were thicker)....
Ok actually the use of Condoms is always necessary for those who practice illegal sex.
More children are having HIVs in europe please go and see
Regional statistics for HIV & AIDS, end of 2008
please see
http://www.avert.org/worldstats.htm
1.3 - 1.4 milion people or children in North America are having HIVs
We use them as baloons to drop dynamite on the enemy ships.

I'm sure if they caught you here with condoms and you aren't married that would be illegal as it implies you're having pre-marital sex.
I hope there is no such law in Qatar. I am worried :(

Pirate ships are international territory. No laws apply.
Sex without a condom is illegal
The only acceptable sexual position in W D>C is the missionary style. any other position is considered illigle
A law in faibanks Alaska doesnt allow moose to have sex in city street.
