Female Condom HIV Prevention Program Saved D.C. $8 Million

For every dollar spent on the program that distributes free female condoms in areas of the city with high HIV rates, there was a cost savings of nearly $20 in future medical savings, according to the study. At least 3 percent of Washington residents have HIV or AIDS, a prevalence rate that is the highest of any U.S. city.
