Mandiitawepi Chimene the Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs is reported to have accused businessmen and rich people of spreading HIV by using the power of the dollar to entice vulnerable many women into having unprotected sex.
Addressing stakeholders at a breakfast meeting organised by the National Aids Council (NAC) on HIV interventions in the workplace held in Mutare on Friday, Chimene expressed dismay at the manner in which rich men indulged in unprotected sex with several women on a daily basis using money as bait.
Chimene was quited by the Standard saying, "The chief culprits who are spreading HIV are the businessmen who are using the power of the dollar to sleep with many women. Sex workers exist because these men are offering the market."
"I believe if these men stop offering the market to sex workers, then we are safe from HIV. Where will the sex workers sell their bodies to if men stop offering them the market? Men should be satisfied with their wives at home."
