KAMPALA – Ugandan MP’s have been inundated with complaints that many condoms on sale in the east African nation are too small, warning the problem is a blow to the fight against AIDS.
Insisting that one size doesn’t fit all, MP Tom Aza said Uganda’s Parliamentary Committee for HIV/AIDS said a recent tour of areas worst hit by the virus revealed that some men “have bigger sexual organs and therefore should be considered for bigger condoms.”
A technician conducts a water leak test of a condom at the condom museum at Tamsui in New Taipei City, Taiwan, 26 August 2013. Condom manufacturer Taiwan Fuji Latex opened the condom museum on 26 August 2013.
“Some youth are complaining that the condoms they are being given, some of them are too short, their organs can’t fit in them,” MP Merard Bitekyerezo also told the channel.
Another committee member, Sarah Netalisile, said the size issue was “exposing our younger boys and girls, and all those users of condoms, to the acquiring of HIV and AIDS.”
NTV Uganda’s report said the MPs would push for better condom supplies and bigger sizes.
It is not the first time the penis size issue has been raised to condom manufacturers.
In 2006, the Indian Council of Medical Research found 60 percent of men in Mumbai had penises at least 2.4 centimeters (one inch) shorter than international condom sizes, and that for 30 percent of men, the size deficit was five centimeters (two inches).
AIDS is seen as being resurgent in Uganda after years of decline, with as many as 80,000 people dying of the disease every year.
From a peak of 18 percent infected in 1992, Uganda’s “ABC” strategy — Abstinence, Be faithful, Condomise — helped slash rates to 6.4 percent in 2005.
But rates have crept back up to 7.2 percent in 2012.
As many as 1.8 million people in the country now live with HIV, and a million children have been orphaned after their parents died of AIDS.

Kimberley – The case of two Angolan men accused of smuggling dogs was postponed in the Springbok Magistrate’s Court on Friday, Northern Cape police said.
The case would resume on October 29, Lieutenant Sergio Kock said.
Inocencio Da Silva Manuel, 35, and Joao Texteira Antonio, 37, were arrested while travelling to Angola at the Vioolsdrift border post on August 17.
They had 33 dogs in their vehicle and trailer, but allegedly only had export permits for 23 of the dogs.
The dogs included Boerboels, Huskies, and German Shepherds. Kock said most of the dogs were dehydrated and showed symptoms of malnutrition.
The men were released on R5000 bail each in August.
