USG continues to procure condoms for the private sector while the GOR has begun procuring condoms for the public sector. Condom use is increasing as distribution of public sector condoms expands through community health workers. In COP11, USG supported the distribution of approximately 9.7 million condoms through the private sector marketed under the brand "Prudence". Additionally, approximately 850,000 of condoms under the brand "Plasir" were procured by the Global Fund supported program. Use is expected to increase at a rate of 5% per year in the private sector, while public sector condoms are anticipated to increase significantly as distribution is expanded through the community health worker level and as private pharmacies are now requested to distribute public sector condoms for free. Purchasing condoms supports the HIV/AIDS prevention program.
