Condom Shopping with Anna Kournikova



Condom shopping can never ever be a bad thing. Especially when you are going with Anna Kournikova. Here's the real scoop:

Last week I found myself condom shopping with Anna Kournikova. But that's where the fantasy ends and hard reality begins. The former tennis star (and current celebrity sex symbol) and I were traveling in Haiti with Population Services International (PSI), a nonprofit group that's waging a global war against malaria, HIV, and child mortality.

PSI's ammunition in this battle is a combination of education and public-awareness campaigns, as well as malaria nets, water purification products and, yes, condoms, all of which it sells at extremely subsidized prices, or, as is often the case in Haiti, gives away to those too poor to pay. Anna's condom purchase was a symbolic one, to show the relative ease of preventing the spread of HIV--a message PSI drives home in the more than 60 countries in which it operates.
