Prepare to buy own condoms: NAC

DONORS have reportedly started scaling down support to HIV response measures amid calls for Zimbabweans to consider budgeting for condoms which might not be given for free in the near future.

This was revealed by National Aids Council (NAC) representative Abraham Ncube during the Zimbabwe Diamond and Allied Minerals Workers Union’s Gwanda regional meeting held recently.

He said 3% was being deducted from workers’ salaries as Aids Levy with 50% of the deductions going towards the procurement of anti-retrovirals (ARVs).
