International News Tanzania Is Running Out of Condoms: OfficialMarch 17, 2004 A looming shortage of condoms could adversely affect the campaign against HIV/AIDS, said Tanzania's National AIDS Control Program (NACP), which has called for increased donor assistance to replenish supplies. "We are worried that we may experience a crisis next year because not a single donor has so far pledged to fund importation of condoms," NACP Director Roland Swai said today. The nation needs 45 million to 50 million condoms annually, costing about $14 million. According to official government records, 8-10 percent of Tanzania's 34.5 million people are HIV-positive.
