UK gives SA millions of condoms in HIV fight
Britain is to give 42-million condoms to South Africa in response to a request for an extra billion as part of an HIV prevention drive before the Soccer World Cup, the government will announce on Tuesday.
The request for British help in stockpiling sufficient condoms for the expected influx of thousands of soccer supporters in three months' time was made during President Jacob Zuma's recent visit to the UK to meet Queen Elizabeth II.
