NOTHING IS WRONG with parents providing condoms to children who are at an age where they may be sexually active, says president of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW), Walter Maloney.

The seminar was organized by the NUPW Public Workers’ Academy under the theme Getting to Zero, which has the goals of “zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths” by 2015.
