ZIMBABWEANS have continued to dominate the continent on condom use, with a staggering 115 million condoms distributed countrywide last year.
Stakeholders in the health sector said the sharp increase in the uptake of condoms could have contributed to the steady decline in the HIV prevalence rate, which has dropped by 30% since 2009.
In 2014, the National Spending Assessment (Nasa) validation report established that Zimbabwe spent $7 million on condoms.
However, a study jointly conducted by UNFPA and the Health ministry, found that young people were having challenges in accessing and utilising condoms.
