The goal is to reach at least 2500 people in these communities, already vinculated to the communication of SOMOSGAY, and add around 2000 people, users of the commercial meeting places in Asuncion.
During the 2010 summer campaign, the members of SOMOSGAY have worked voluntarily in the communication activities, coming to hand out between the months of December and January over 5000 condoms and informative materials.
As this stage comes to an end, the creators of "I LOVE YOU CONDOM" redesign this campaign with a fresh new image and updated information. This new version of the successful campaign is launched in February, considered as the month of love.
The responsible team of the campaign establishes in this manner the strategy to bring the condom as the means of prevention, in a more friendly and human way, making a difference with the other HIV campaigns that always use medical terminology that moves away the public.
It should be emphasized that this and all activities by SOMOSGAY are self-financed by its 60 active members, who support the organization and strengthen the sense of solidarity and community that SOMOSGAY seeks to promote.
