“…A national research study found that 76.6% of retail outlets surveyed had never sold a condom in 2002 [36]. Population Services International began a national condom promotion program in early 2002 [37] using a three-pronged approach: (1) a national media campaign promoting condoms (Figure 1); (2) increased widespread condom availability within the private sector to destigmatize condom use; and (3) targeted condom promotion to high-risk groups such as sex workers [38]. The impact of such efforts on condom sales has been dramatic.…”

“…These three summary constructs proximally explain a person’s use of preventive or curative health products and services and/or risk-reducing behavior 19–24. In other words, opportunity, ability, and motivation facilitate or inhibit the behavior, and they can be enhanced, increased, or positively changed within the target audience by the intervention agency 25,26. The MOA framework has been applied in several behavior-change contexts.…”
BackgroundExtramarital sex is a high-risk behavior in terms of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission, yet condom use in extramarital relationships is an understudied area in Africa, and Nigeria in particular, where such liaisons are not uncommon. This study highlights key determinants of condom use among men who engage in extramarital sex in Nigeria.MethodsResults are based on a subsample of 642 married men from a combined dataset from three waves of the National HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey (NARHS), a set of multiround nationally representative surveys. Logistic regression was employed to explore possible determinants of condom use in extramarital sex. The motivation, opportunity, and ability model was applied in selecting the determinants.ResultsHIV risk-reduction knowledge was found not to be associated with condom use. At the full logistic regression model, being of the Yoruba tribe, having no misconception about HIV transmission, ability to discuss condom use, and ability to wear condoms were the key variables significantly associated with condom use in extramarital sex.ConclusionImplementing HIV risk-reduction behavior change requires more than knowledge. Behavioral skills in condom use are critical. Intervention efforts should move away from knowledge about risk to concentrate on improving skills on how to discuss condom use and wear condoms correctly.
