A study by British and Nicaraguan scientists shows that placing free condoms in hotel rooms could reduce the number of AIDS cases in Latin America. Dr. Matthias Egger of Bristol University in England said free
condoms should be made a policy in motel rooms, especially those used by sex workers.
In their report, the researchers report that over a period of 24 days, when 6,500 couples visited the motels, at least one condom was used in nearly 50 percent of the encounters. Egger said discreet
condom provision could be effective HIV prevention in urban Latin American cities.
