East Africa: UNFPA Calls for Increase in Condom Supply

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has indicated that use and access to condoms by the youth, especially those between ages 15 to 24 in Rwanda, was low.

According to UNAIDS survey of 2010 indicated that 56 per cent of new HIV infection were from sex workers mainly due to lack of access to preventive tools like condoms.

Cheikh Fall, Officer in Charge, UNFPA Rwanda, said according to the Demographic Health Survey 2010, 79 per cent of women and 66 per cent of men know that the risk of getting HIV can be reduced by using condoms and limiting sex to one uninfected partner.
