The study was about the effectiveness of condoms distribution in HIV/AIDS spread
minimization. The study was conducted in Manyara Mererani mining sites being the
case of the study.
The study population involved condom distributors and condom users that were obtained
in the study area. The study sample was 250 respondents whereby 50 were distributors
and 200 were users. The simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to
generate the sample.
The tools for primary data collection involved interview and questionnaires.
Documentary review was used to generate secondary data. Data were analysed basing on
descriptive statistics, frequency analysis and percentages
The study reveals that their lack of condom distribution and usage will increase of
HIV/AIDS spread. It is established that failure to establish good rapport by distributors
and users of condoms with the community such as providing feedback on education and
effect of HIV among people in mining site will not be effectively applied.
The behavior change communication is the key important in effectiveness of condom
distributors and users. People in mining sites should be flexible based on the time
demand. When distributors distribute men condoms than women at a maximum should
change so as to come up with market change as a social demand. There is mobility
nature of people that should be considered by distributors as the theory explains
The researcher recommends that, effective distribution of condoms and effective
feedback among distributors and condom users are the key factors to the minimization of spread of HIV/AIDS in mining communities.
