Related: About this forumNo condoms at NKY needle exchanges, says Catholic health system St. Elizabeth
https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2018/03/27/no-condoms-needle-exchange-says-catholic-health-system-st-elizabeth-whole-point/410434002/Needles will be available. Condoms won't.
That's the plan for two anticipated needle exchanges in Northern Kentucky, despite the tradition of giving away condoms at needle exchanges to help fight infectious diseases.
Why? Because the Roman Catholic Church doesn't approve of condom use. And the exchanges will be located in St. Elizabeth Healthcare parking lots.
The rule is astonishing to Dr. Judith Feinberg, who headed up the first Greater Cincinnati needle exchange in 2014.

Just goes to prove the RCC's #1 concern is adhering to ridiculous outdated dogma instead of serving the public health.
