LOS ANGELES (February 9, 2023) AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s largest HIV/AIDS organization, is commemorating International Condom Day (ICD) by bringing a safer sex message to the stage with an original production which will feature a burlesque style twist on the classic play, West Side Story. International Condom Day, a holiday created by AHF and celebrated each year on February 13th (the day before Valentine’s Day), came about as an innovative and lighthearted way to remind people that wearing a condom can prevent pregnancy and STDs, including HIV.

The cast of powerhouse performers will wow the audience with suggestive yet informative dance numbers, all while promoting a positive message of prevention, sexual health and wellness.
Featured numbers include “Gym Burlesque,” “Maria,” and “P***y Control.” The show will also focus on the conscious process of feeling passion, the decision of choosing to use or not to use a condom and the ramifications associated.
