Abstract

To evaluate potential associations among condom errors and gonorrhea and chlamydial infection among a population of sexually transmitted disease clinic patients. Audio computer-assisted self-interviewing was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey with 1124 participants. Biological specimens were collected during the evaluation visit. A substantial proportion of participants reported condom-use errors with condom breakage statistically associated with gonorrhea infection among males at enrollment (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI: 123-2.96; P = .004). Behavioral interventions that promote consistent condom use must provide the necessary skills associated with proper condom use.
