In the Mühldorf am Inn district, the health department is launching an awareness campaign during the carnival season, in which taxi companies will play a central role. According to a statement, from Silly Thursday to Carnival Tuesday nighttime passengers will be supplied with prevention kits. The aim is to raise people's awareness of sexual health during the festive days.

Cooperation between the Public Health Department and taxi companies

According to the Public Health Department, the packages are distributed by regional taxi companies that frequently have contact with partygoers on nightly rides home. Participating in the campaign are Blitz Taxi, Ensar's Taxi, Taxi Enzo, and Taxi Huber. The distribution takes place exclusively in the evening and night hours when many passengers are out and about.

Contents and Objectives of the Packages

The prevention packages contain information brochures on HIV, AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, a condom is included to provide practical protection in addition to the dissemination of knowledge. The campaign is intended, according to the Public Health Department, to promote responsible behavior and provide easily accessible education.

Context of the initiative

By involving taxi companies, the health department gains direct access to people who are out and about after prolonged celebrations. The initiative is understood as a preventive contribution to health promotion at a time when many partygoers are on the move and risks could be underestimated.
