botswana: Botswana Aims to Bring Safe Sex Closer to Home

Botswana plans to treble its distribution of condoms in a bid to curb the spread of AIDS in the country, which has one of the world's highest infection rates, the health minister said on Thursday. The aim of a new government drive is to hand out enough condoms so that most of the African country's 1.7 million people will not have to go more than a kilometer to get hold of one.
