Condom use consistency varies by sexual partner type. Women consistently used condoms more with new and casual partners than regular partners, with use declining as partnerships became more stable. The female condom may aid protection in stable relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Sexual health research
  • Public health interventions
  • Epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections

Background:

  • Understanding factors influencing consistent condom use is crucial for sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention.
  • Previous research often relied on cross-sectional data, limiting insights into the dynamics of condom use over time and across different partnership types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To longitudinally examine the association between the type of sexual partnership and the consistency of condom use among women attending STD clinics.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective follow-up study involving 869 women who maintained sexual diaries.
  • Diaries recorded barrier method use, partner initials, and partner type for each sexual act.
  • Condom use by partner type was analyzed across the entire group, among women with multiple partners, and within partnerships that changed status.

Main Results:

  • Consistent condom use was higher with new and casual partners compared to regular partners.
  • Condom use consistency decreased in partnerships that transitioned from new to regular.
  • The female condom was used more frequently with regular partners, suggesting potential for stable relationship protection.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual partnership type significantly modifies condom use behavior.
  • Longitudinal data confirm findings from previous cross-sectional studies regarding condom use and partner type.
  • The female condom presents a viable option for enhancing protection within stable sexual partnerships.
