Abstract: Abstract In October 1992, nearly 450 people representing the widest possible range of organizations attended the launching conference of the National AIDS Co-ordinating Committee of South Africa. In June 1994, a draft AIDS strategy was formulated which culminated in the publication of a comprehensive and detailed National AIDS Plan (Schneider and Stein 1997, p. 4). This plan called for the provision of free condoms and STD treatment services. In 1995, 98 million condoms were distributed nationally to all provinces in South Africa (Operational Plan Report, 1999).
