Learn more about the DC’s Doin’ It! Campaign:

The DC Female Condom Project is a public-private partnership of the MAC AIDS Fund, the Female Health Company, CVS/pharmacy, Washington AIDS Partnership, and the DC Department of Health (DOH) to provide increased access to, availability of and information about the new FC2 female condom.

Backed by a $500,000 grant from the MAC AIDS Fund, five local nonprofit organizations will distribute 500,000 female condoms, through a grassroots prevention and education program in the neighborhoods of the city hardest hit by HIV/AIDS. The program will be implemented by Calvary Healthcare, Inc., Community Education Group, Our Place, DC, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, and the Women’s Collective.

In addition to distribution through community- and women-focused organizations, the FC2 is now available – the first time anywhere in the United States – for purchase exclusively at CVS/pharmacy stores in Washington, D.C., providing unprecedented and convenient access to the contraceptive. The 3-pack FC2 Female Condom sells for $6.49 at CVS/pharmacy.
