100 million condoms were distributed in Zimbabwe and infection declined by 30% for the past 5 years.
This is according to National AIDS Council.
Recently 1.3 million Zimbabweans are living with HIV out of the entire population of 13 million.
In Zimbabwe, more than 618,980 people are under medication for the virus.
"We had 104 million male condoms and 5.2 million female condoms distributed last year alone, up from a total of 28 million the previous
year," said Amon Mpofu, a director at the National Aids Council.
Condoms are mostly found in public places like colleges, bars and clinics with subsidized price in shops.
In Kenya,more than 1.6 million people are HIV positive and many attribute it to the increased same sex relationship.
