On December 18, 2007, the Beijing Gender Health Education Institute (GHE) and the Chinese Association for STD & AIDS Prevention Control held “A Forum on Condoms and Lubricant: Requirements and Social Marketing for the MSM Population."
The Conference facilitated discussions on the needs of the MSM population for condom and lubricant design, production and social marketing. We explored methods to promote the use of condoms and lubricant so as to promote safe sex behaviors and effective prevention of STDs and HIV/AIDS amongst MSM; and conducted a brainstorming seminar to encourage constructive commentary and suggestions on condom social marketing models that are suitable for the Chinese MSM community.
The aims of the Conference were:
To enhance HIV/AIDS prevention work among MSM in China by promoting safe sex awareness and use of condoms and lubricants for MSM.
To promote and assist condom and lubricant manufacturers to design and produce condoms, lubricants and other sexual tools that address the requirements and needs of the Chinese MSM population.
And to encourage sincere exploration of a suitable condom and lubricant social marketing model for China's MSM community.
