Fishermen in Lake Victoria hate using condoms

Young fishermen between the ages of 15 to 24 years along Lake Victoria hate using condoms during sex.  Majority of them prefer having unprotected sex with multiple sex partners even when they are aware of their HIV status. To them HIV is like a flu hence they have nothing to fear.

Having multiple sex partners, transactional sex (fish for sex) and failure to use condoms even with partners known to be HIV positive are some of the factors that have contributed to high HIV prevalence along the shores of Lake Victoria and Nyanza region as a whole.
