University students asked to use condoms

The Family Planning Association of Malawi (Fpam) has urged all students doing their tertiary education to remember using condoms during sexual intercourse.

One of Fpam’s officials, Roney Mjozama, was speaking at Chancellor College during a sensitization campaign on the importance of using condoms amongst students under University of Malawi (Unima).

condomsMjozama said it is so painful to see that some graduates from the college do not work for a long time as they die of HIV/AIDS.

She said most HIV positive graduates from Unima get the disease while doing their tertiary education due since that is when they have a lot of unprotected sex.

“We are working with UNFPA reaching all the university students under Unima telling them the importance of using condoms as one way of reducing the spread of HIV/AIDs.

“This is so due to the fact that we want them to contribute to the development of this country and with that reason we thought of bringing this campaign which we are expecting that by the end of the campaign more students will be using the condoms hence HIV/AIDs will be reduced,” said Mjozama

Fpam is having the campaign under the theme “use the condoms rightly and don’t ignore” and is expected to reach all the colleges under University of Malawi.

  1. Instead of advising them to concentrate on education u encourage dem to do sex in d name of condomising. Kodi ana a anzanu mumawaganizira motani? Mmalo mot muzilimbana ndi zamabanja, what’s d meaning of family planning? Mitu

  2. FOR SURE, BY CONDOMS, STUDENTS WILL BETTER SURVIVE. THIS BECAUSE, SEXUAL ACTION IS UN EXPECTED TO OCCUR DUE TO BODY NEEDS. NO ONE CAN TOTALY ABSTAIN THIS ACTION AND OTHERS ENDING MUSTERBATION WHICH IS A SIN ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE ARTICLES. CONDOM REDUCE HIV AND UNPLANNED PREGNANCES SO IT IS BETTER THE STUDENTS TO USE THESE CONTRACEPTIVES FOR THE BETTER FUTURE LIFE.

  3. Good program, but however yit so selective, why considering UNIMA only?, yet there are alot of tertiary institutions in malawi. Wuchindele pela haki

  4. no one can manage to stop people from doing sex but its a such good idea that the use of condoms should be implemented

  5. oh yes..thts true fact..komadi zikumachitikadi nkhani zimenezi and AFPAM achita bwino kwambiri..”Oh pple, lets stop hating the justice”

  6. FPAM, you cannot tell me even if the students heed your call, they will not contract the pandemic. Tell them to abstain as condom use is not a solution at all. Let them die if they ignore the advice. I am a Christian and sorry, thank you!
