Boston, MA — ONE® Condoms is honored to announce its renewed partnership with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC Health Department) and is committed to increasing accessibility to sexual health supplies across New York City.
ONE® Condoms held the contract as the vendor for the NYC Condom Availability Program from 2018 until 2024, and is now thrilled to return as the condom vendor for another 5 years. The new contract to supply free external condoms and lubricant lasts through January 2031.
“We are proud to be working with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene again,” said Davin Wedel, President and CEO of Global Protection Corp.®, parent company of ONE® Condoms. “This partnership is about more than just supply; it’s about empowering New Yorkers to take charge of their sexual health with confidence and ease – and to ensure condoms are always within reach.”
ONE® will work hand-in-hand with the NYC Health Department’s NYC Condom Availability Program in this renewed partnership. Organizations and businesses interested in distributing free safer sex supplies can place orders for condoms and lubricant through the NYC Safer Sex Portal. The wide selection of condoms includes styles such as ONE® Super Sensitive™, ONE® Legend XL™, ONE® Extra Strong™, ONE® FlavorWaves®, and more. Organizations can receive five boxes (1,000 per box) of any combination of external condoms and lubricant plus one box (1,000 per box) of internal condoms per order. More information is available on the NYC Health Department website.
“It is essential that New York City continues to invest in the necessary resources that ensure that New Yorkers have access to HIV and STI prevention methods, including safer sex products. That is why we are excited to announce our contract renewal with ONE,” said NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin. “And while we are pleased to see a decline in some STI rates in 2024, the inequities across race, ethnicity, and neighborhood among other factors are not acceptable. Every New Yorker, regardless of who they are, where they live, or how much money they make deserves access to safer sex tools they need to stay healthy.”
New York City has long been a trailblazer in sexual health; it pioneered free condom distribution through health clinics as early as 1971 and later made history in 2007 by launching its own iconic branded condom.
“New York is bold, diverse, and always moving forward—and so are we,” said Wedel. “Being chosen again as NYC’s external condom and lubricant vendor is an honor we don’t take lightly. It means the city trusts us to show up for its residents and visitors alike, night after night.”
Known for innovative design, premium quality, and inclusive messaging, ONE® Condoms has long embraced the idea that protection, pleasure and community outreach go hand-in-hand. This partnership reinforces the brand’s mission to normalize conversations around sexual health while giving New Yorkers access to premium, high-quality condoms and lubricants.
