UNAIDS, TAC Promote Condom Use in City of Cape Town

Activists from the Treatment Action Coalition (TAC) in South Africa and members of the UNAIDS Commission on HIV Prevention marched in the City of Cape Town to scale-up the use of condoms in the areas most severely affected by HIV, according to a UNAIDS statement. The participants wore T-shirts with the words “HIV Positive” on them, danced to music on and off stage and celebrated condoms as a barrier against the spread of the virus. At least one million condoms a year have been distributed in the region since the UNAIDS and TAC partnership began three years ago.
