In 2005, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) made free condoms available to organizations through a Web-based ordering system. In 2006, we interviewed managers and patrons about free condom availability, acquisition, and use in venues where people at high risk for human immunodeficiency virus congregate. DOHMH condom distribution increased from 5.8 million in 2004 to 17.3 million in 2006. Overall, managers reported making condoms available at 76% (309/409) of high-priority venues, but only at 40% of gay bars. Among patrons who saw free condoms, 80% (280/351) reported taking them; 73% (205/280) of those who reported taking them also reported using them. A simple, Web-based ordering system dramatically increased condom distribution. In the venues we sampled, the majority of patrons acquired and used free condoms when available and visible, suggesting that increasing free condom availability may increase use. Special efforts are needed to ensure availability at gay bars.
2005年，纽约市卫生和精神卫生部门（DOHMH）通过一个基于网络的订购系统向各机构提供免费避孕套。2006年，我们就免费避孕套在人类免疫缺陷病毒高危人群聚集场所的可得性、获取情况和使用情况，对管理人员和顾客进行了访谈。DOHMH发放的避孕套数量从2004年的580万只增加到了2006年的1730万只。总体而言，管理人员报告称，在76%（309/409）的重点场所提供了避孕套，但在同性恋酒吧中这一比例仅为40%。在看到免费避孕套的顾客中，80%（280/351）报告拿走了避孕套；在报告拿走避孕套的人中，73%（205/280）还报告使用了避孕套。一个简单的基于网络的订购系统显著增加了避孕套的发放量。在我们抽样的场所中，大多数顾客在有免费避孕套且能看到的情况下会获取并使用，这表明增加免费避孕套的可得性可能会提高其使用率。需要做出特别努力以确保在同性恋酒吧也能提供避孕套。
