"We are worried that we may experience a crisis next year because not a single donor has so far pledged to fund importation of condoms," NACP Director Roland Swai told AFP on Wednesday.

Swai said Tanzania's demand of condoms was between 45 million and 50 million annually.

He said about 14 million dollars was needed annually for condoms.

Official government records here say between eight and 10 percent of Tanzania's 34.5 million population is HIV-positive.
