According to Tanzanian lawmakers, the usage of emergency contraception, often known as P2, to prevent pregnancies among girls aged 14 to 24, is on the rise.
MPs on the health committee were discussing a study on the rise in HIV infections, which found that girls were preventing more pregnancies than illnesses.
Male latex condoms protect against sexually transmitted illnesses and halt pregnancies in 98 percent of cases.
The committee advised that firms selling the emergency medicines offer free condoms and instruct customers on how to use them to avoid HIV infections. Tanzania has over 1.7 million HIV-positive persons.
