Zambian President Rupiah Banda has urged citizens to stop having multiple concurrent partners, reports The Post.
“I am informed that multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships especially among stable and long-standing relationships are a leading source of new infections in the country. Within these relationships, consistent and correct condom use remain dismally low despite condoms being readily available and in most cases free of charge. If we want to stop HIV, we have to stop this behaviour,” President Banda said.
“As a practical measure, condom use should be promoted alongside the promotion of abstinence. Condoms are important for general sexual reproductive health and the prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections,” he said.
