    (Mzumbe University, 2015) Masai, Pelestian Brown
    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.
