“…Additionally, marketing that emphasizes that sexual satisfaction is possible with the use of condoms for both men and women could supplement or replace traditional public health disease avoidance messaging. 3031 Finally, future research should incorporate detailed questions about condom use problems and the contexts and reasons attributed to these problems. Rigorous examination of the relative effectiveness of skill-based training to prevent condom breakage and slippage, communication techniques to avoid partial usage, and the impact of condom use problems on STI acquisition will further enhance understanding of the importance of condom use problems.…”

Background Incorrect condom use is a common problem that can undermine their prevention impact. We assessed the prevalence of two condom use problems, breakage/slippage and partial use, compared problems by partnership type, and examined associations with respondent, partner, and partnership characteristics. Methods Data were collected at 3-month intervals over a 12-month period (1999–2000) among urban STD clinic users. Condom use problems were compared between partnership types using z-tests for equality of proportions. Logistic generalized estimating equations modeling accounted for within-participant correlation of repeated measures. Results Overall, 3,297 respondents reported 9,304 main and 6,793 non-main partnerships; condoms were used at least once in 4,942 (53.0%) and 4,523 (66.6%) of these partnerships respectively. Condom breakage/slippage was reported during 6.0% of uses (5.1% main, 9.4% non-main) and partial use during 12.5% of uses (12.8% main, 11.5% non-main). The proportion of respondents experiencing any condom use problem in the prior 3 months was higher among main compared to non-main partnerships: 39.1% v. 29.9% had either problem; 22.5% v. 19.0% had breakage/slippage only; 21.8% v. 18.7%, partial use; and 8.7% v. 7.1% had both use problems. In multivariable analysis, factors associated with condom use problems varied by partnership type and respondent sex. The most common predictors of problems across models were sex while high and inconsistent condom use. Conclusions This study highlights the diverse set of risk factors for condom use problems at the individual, partner and partnerships levels.

Rates of sexual activity, pregnancies, and births among adolescents have continued to decline during the past decade to historic lows. Despite these positive trends, many adolescents remain at risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This policy statement has been developed to assist the pediatrician in understanding and supporting the use of condoms by their patients to prevent unintended pregnancies and STIs and address barriers to their use. When used consistently and correctly, male latex condoms reduce the risk of pregnancy and many STIs, including HIV. Since the last policy statement published 12 years ago, there is an increased evidence base supporting the protection provided by condoms against STIs. Rates of acquisition of STIs/HIV among adolescents remain unacceptably high. Interventions that increase availability or accessibility to condoms are most efficacious when combined with additional individual, small-group, or community-level activities that include messages about safer sex. Continued research is needed to inform public health interventions for adolescents that increase the consistent and correct use of condoms and promote dual protection of condoms for STI prevention with other effective methods of contraception.
