“…Though some research examines heterosexual men’s sexual health [19–21], the literature overwhelmingly classifies men’s sexual “risk” as relating to STIs versus pregnancy, and thus rarely includes contraceptive information. Burgeoning research attends to men’s fertility intentions [22], but more in relationship to births than pregnancy prevention.…”

Objectives Male condom use in conjunction with other contraceptives increases protection against pregnancy and STIs. However, few analyses contextualize dual method use within the sexual episode, include reports from men, or explore gendered patterns in reporting. Study Design We analyzed dual method use patterns using a nationally representative dataset of 18–44 year-olds in the US (N=404 men, 416 women). Respondents indicated contraceptive method(s) used at last penile-vaginal intercourse, condom practices, and relationship and sexual information about that particular partner. Results More than one-in-three penile-vaginal intercourse episodes (40%) involved male condom use: 28% condom only and 12% condom plus a highly effective method. Dual method reporting did not differ significantly by gender. Among dual method users, only 59% reported condom use during the entire intercourse episode, while 35% began intercourse without one and 6% removed the condom during intercourse. A greater proportion of men than women reported incorrect use of condoms (49% versus 35%), though this difference was not statistically significant. Only 50% of dual method users reported condom use in all of their last 10 intercourse episodes. Conclusions Many people classified as “dual users” in previous studies may not be using dual methods consistently or correctly. Researchers and practitioners should inquire how and how often condoms are used when assessing and addressing dual method use. Furthermore, though men have rarely been surveyed about dual method use, they can provide consistent contraceptive estimates, and may be more likely to report condom practices such as late application or early removal.

“…Santelli and colleagues found that about 17% of their community-based sample of teenage and adult women used dual methods [3]. When surveying a nationally representative sample of males, Lindberg and colleagues found that about 17% used a condom when they thought or knew that their female partner was using a hormonal method [4]. In a follow-up study of 104 of 13–25-year-old British women who had received family planning clinic services, and who were initially prescribed the birth control pill, 23 (22%) reported using both hormonal contraception and condoms [5].…”

Purpose. To identify correlates of combined hormonal contraception and condom use (dual method use) compared with no methods, condoms only or hormonal contraception only. Data are from a baseline assessment of 335 youth (52% female) enrolled in an intervention trial. Multinomial logistic regression identified theory-based factors associated with dual method use. At last intercourse 47% of respondents used dual methods, 29% condom only, 14% hormonal contraception only, and 10% no methods. No method users were less likely than dual-method users to feel “dirty” about pregnancy, to have ask about historical condom use, to have more than two partners, to view condom use as normative for boys and more likely to perceive pregnancy risk as remote. Hormonal-contraception-only users were more likely to have sex weekly and perceive sex as pleasurable for girls, and less likely to view condom use as normative for boys and to ask a partner to use a condom. Condom-only users were more likely to perceive pregnancy chance as remote, and less likely to have more than two partners and to want peers to think they were virgins. Interventions should include benefits of dual methods while counseling about the negative impact of STI and unplanned teen pregnancy.

“…4916 Similarly, two cross-sectional studies found lower reported condom use among adolescent oral contraceptive users. 1117 A more recent cross-sectional study, however, did not observe this same pattern. In fact, the investigators found that African American adolescent females who used oral contraception, compared to their counterparts who did not use oral contraception, were significantly less likely to report unprotected vaginal sex and were less likely to screen positive for an STI.…”

“…Three previous papers on dual method use and STI risk 111718 categorised respondents as either HC users, a group comprising HC only and dual method users, or non-HC users, a group comprising condom only and contraceptive non-users. When replicating this approach in our data, we found that female non-HC users, relative to HC users, were more likely to be STI-infected (aOR=2.01, 95% CI=1.01–4.00), a finding that aligned with the analysis conducted by Crosby et al 18 In our data, however, the significant association was driven by the high STI prevalence among contraceptive non-users.…”

Background Simultaneous condom and hormonal contraception usage (‘dual method use’) maximises protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI), although there is concern that promotion of this strategy could result in diminished condom use and inadvertently increase STI risk. In this study, we (1) assessed how the use of dual methods, versus condoms alone, related to STI and consistency of condom use and (2) described the correlates of dual use. Methods A sample of 1450 young people aged 12–25 years were surveyed and screened for chlamydia and gonorrhoea at non-clinical sites in two high morbidity Californian counties in 2002–2003. Differences in STI prevalence and reported consistency of condom use were assessed for ‘condom only’ and ‘dual method’ users. Correlates of dual use were analysed via multivariate polytomous logistic regression. Results Condom only and dual method users did not significantly differ in terms of STI prevalence or reported consistency of condom use. Sex, age, race and relationship tenure were significant correlates of dual use. Discussion In these observational data, dual method use did not detrimentally affect STI risk. If interpreted alongside each subgroups’ risk patterns for STI and unplanned pregnancy, the correlates of dual use can inform STI and pregnancy prevention interventions.
