The UNFPA said it also supported Sri Lanka's National STD/AIDS Control Programme (NSACP) in developing HIV/AIDS guides for Primary Health Care Workers and those working in condom programming, with the objective to equip officials with the knowledge and skills to improve their awareness on condom use among communities.
