Members of the curling community are excited about a joint fundraising program between United States Curling Association and Central Coast HIV/AIDS. With the help of the curling team’s sponsor, Kodiak Technology Group, they will sell Hurry Hard condoms.
“Hurry Hard!” is part of the curling vocabulary. The condom’s logo will feature a smiling curling stone on a house.
The condoms will be sold leading up to the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games in British Columbia, Canada.
HIV can effect everyone, regardless of age. In fact, 2.1 million of the 33.4 million people living with HIV are children. Young people account for almost 40 percent of all new infections.
Curling is a rapidly growing sport in the United States and around the world.
