Abstract
African Americans continue to be disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, Chlamydia and Syphilis. Consistent correct condom use is the most effective way to prevent STIs. Based on the theory of planned behavior, hierarchical multiple regressions were used to determine whether condom efficacy, condom attitudes, gender, and partner status could predict condom use among college students. Each step of the hierarchical multiple regression was significant ultimately resulting in 27% of the overall variance in condom use with partner status as the strongest predictor, followed by condom attitudes, condom efficacy, and gender. These results suggest that increased condom negotiation training for individuals with main partners may greatly contribute to reducing STI among African Americans.
