Car rental drivers shun condoms

    JOHANNESBURG

    Drivers of a car rental company in Ghana are reluctant to use condoms during sexual intercourse, local newspaper The Ghanaian Chronicle reported on Wednesday.

    A recent survey by the Car Rentals Association of Ghana (CRAG) of 100 of their drivers showed that 67 percent did not practise safe sex.

    CRAG president, Foster Nyarko, said the drivers clearly stated they did this with the confidence that their sex partners would not question their integrity.

    Nyarko said GRAG hoped to effectively tackle the issue with its first HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, launched last week.
