The centres have partnered with the Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) and the National Aids Control Council to give out condoms in a bid to contain the spread of HIV/Aids especially during Valentines Day to be celebrated on February 14.

At least 40,000 Kenyans seek services at Huduma Centres every day.

"It is important to help young people who are sexually active to prevent infections. In our efforts to address the once again rising infection rates, we found out that Huduma Centres are strategically located for us to reach out to masses of young people," AHF country programme director Samuel Kinyanjui said as quoted by the Star.

Current Health Ministry statistics indicate that HIV infections are on the rise, compelling institutions to devise a wide range of initiatives to curb its spread.

Last week, AHF donated 60 condom dispensers to Huduma Centres.

There are currently 52 such centres spread across the 47 counties, with Nairobi having the largest number of centres.

"Our dispensers have been fitted with a coin slot so the person who refills them everyday can get something they can use as transport back home, or lunch," Kinyanjui said.
