OBJECTIVE
To evaluate condom-use attitudes and behaviors among low-income, primarily African American, male patients seeking care at an urban sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic.
METHODS
Via face-to-face interviews, 224 males completed a theory-based questionnaire regarding condom use.
RESULTS
The results show that although respondents had obvious signs and symptoms of infection and that 65% were "repeaters" at the clinic, 66% of the sample reporting a main partner and 33% of those with other types of sexual partners were not motivationally ready to use condoms consistently.
CONCLUSION
Based on their STD clinic attendance, these men obviously perceive themselves at risk for STDs, but appear to cope with this risk by choosing to engage in secondary rather than primary preventive behaviors.
目的
评估在城市性传播疾病（STD）诊所就诊的低收入、主要为非裔美国男性患者对避孕套使用的态度和行为。
方法
通过面对面访谈，224名男性完成了一份基于理论的关于避孕套使用的问卷。
结果
结果显示，尽管受访者有明显的感染体征和症状，且65%是诊所的“常客”，但在报告有主要性伴侣的样本中，66%以及在有其他类型性伴侣的人群中，33%在动机上还未准备好始终如一地使用避孕套。
结论
基于他们在STD诊所的就诊情况，这些男性显然意识到自己有感染性传播疾病的风险，但他们似乎通过选择采取二级预防行为而非一级预防行为来应对这种风险。
