Said Mpofu,
“We are the highest consumers of condoms in the world currently, that is why we have realised a reduction in HIV infection rates. We had 104 million male condoms and 5.2 million female condoms distributed in 2014 alone,”
He further encouraged Zimbabwean men to go for HIV/AIDS screenings, insisting that “a recent study has also revealed that most men in this country are afraid to go for HIV testing”.
Zimbabwe has just over 1.4 million people who are now living with HIV.
