    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Sexual Health

    Background:

    • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) pose a significant public health challenge.
    • Condom use is a primary method for STD prevention.
    • Understanding correct usage patterns is crucial for effective STD control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of condom usage patterns on STD acquisition among male patients.
    • To determine the effectiveness of proper condom use in preventing specific STDs.

    Main Methods:

    • A six-month observational study of male patients at an STD clinic.
    • Categorization of condom users into proper/invariable users and others.
    • Statistical analysis to compare STD diagnosis rates between groups.

    Main Results:

    • Correct condom use was linked to a significantly lower probability of acquiring gonorrhoea (P < 0.001).
    • Proper condom usage showed a significantly higher likelihood of no STD diagnosis (P < 0.0005).
    • Non-specific urethritis diagnosis rates did not differ significantly between user groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Consistent and correct condom use is highly effective in preventing gonorrhoea and overall STDs.
    • Promoting correct condom usage is vital for STD prevention strategies.
    • Further research may be needed to understand factors influencing non-specific urethritis rates.
