Zimbos advised to start budgeting for c0nd0ms

Donors are reportedly reducing their support for HIV response efforts, leading to calls for Zimbabweans to start budgeting for condoms, which may not be provided for free in the near future.

This information was shared by Abraham Ncube from the National Aids Council (NAC) during a recent meeting of the Zimbabwe Diamond and Allied Minerals Workers Union in Gwanda.

Ncube explained that 3% is deducted from workers’ salaries to fund the Aids Levy, with half of that amount going toward buying anti-retroviral treatment (ARVs).

He noted, “This is not enough and is usually supported by donations from organizations like the Global Fund, which help provide ARVs and prevention items, including c0nd0ms.”

He warned that since donors are starting to reduce their support for HIV programs, people may need to start thinking about budgeting for c0nd0ms. “If you’re a man and have no c0nd0ms at home, it’s time to consider that. We need to stop depending on free items and think about becoming more self-sufficient,” said Ncube.

Ncube also mentioned that part of the Aids Levy is used to purchase ARVs, while the rest supports various response programs, including prevention activities. He highlighted NAC’s involvement in educating mine workers about HIV.

Additionally, Munyaradzi Sidakwa from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières emphasized the importance of personal health to the miners. “It’s crucial for everyone to take their health seriously. While we provide services, you need to take the first step to ensure you are healthy,” he said.

Sidakwa expressed concern about high levels of alcohol and substance abuse among miners, especially those in the informal sector. “There are increased risks of alcohol use, substance @bus3, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV in the mining sector compared to other areas. It’s essential that you take responsibility for your health while we as stakeholders do our part,” he urged.
