CONDOM USE BY INJECTING DRUG USERS

Response rates for condom use by sex workers

Safer sexual practices among injecting drug users are essential, even in countries where other modes of HIV transmission predominate. The high risk of HIV transmission from contaminated injecting equipment places the sexual partners of injecting drug users at higher risk of HIV. Condom use by injecting drug users is therefore an important aspect of the prevention of HIV sexual transmission.

CONDOM USE BY MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN

Condoms can substantially reduce the risk of sexual transmission of HIV. Consequently, consistent and correct condom use is important for men who have sex with men because of the high risk of HIV transmission during unprotected anal sex. In addition, men who have anal sex with men may also have female partners. Hence condom use during male-to-male sex may be an important determinant of spousal transmission. Purpose To assess progress in preventing exposure to HIV among men who have unprotected anal sex with a male partner. Definition Percentage of men reporting the use of a condom the last time they had anal sex with a male partner. Numerator: number of respondents who reported that a condom was used the last time they had anal sex. Denominator: number of respondents who reported having had anal sex with a male partner in the last six months.
