Abstract
The female prison population has been increasing. It is known that the health of women in prison deserves attention because they are more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The aim of the present study was to understand the perceptions of incarcerated women regarding condom use by their partners during intimate visits at the Juazeiro Penal Compound-BA female penitentiary (Penitenciaria Feminina, Conjunto Penal de Juazeiro-BA). This investigation was a descriptive and exploratory study that utilized a qualitative approach. We used a semi-structured interview, which was subsequently analyzed using Bardin's content analysis. The male condom is considered a temporary preventive method, and female passivity is closely related to their vulnerability to STDs/AIDS.
