SINGAPORE - Young women dressed in skimpy Santa
outfits have distributed 50,000 free safe-sex stocking
stuffers — condoms — to holiday shoppers in the
city-state's glitzy tourism and shopping district.

The sexy Santas from Takaso Marketing, which makes
Playsafe condoms, handed out the prophylactics along
busy Orchard Road over the pre-Christmas weekend, said
the company's general manager, Tonya Tan.

"Our main objective is to educate the public on AIDS
(news - web sites) prevention and provide support on
practicing safe sex," said Tan.

She wouldn't say how much the company spent on the
campaign.

Chocolates and candies were handed out to children,
she added.

Wealthy, highly developed Singapore hasn't been hit as
hard by AIDS as some of its Southeast Asian neighbor
countries. The government has stepped up its AIDS
awareness programs in recent years.

A a total of 2,034 people in Singapore, an island
republic with a population of 4 million, have been
infected with the AIDS-causing virus HIV (news - web
sites), according the nongovernment group Action For AIDS.
