Our objective was to assess if female sex workers (FSWs) and their potential male clients in Cotonou, Benin, know how to use male condoms correctly. From April to June 2000, 314 FSWs and 208 men were interviewed, and asked to demonstrate on a wooden penis how they usually use male condoms. In all, 27.6% of both women and men tore the condom envelope on the notch; 89.3% of the women versus 75.4% of the men easily found the correct side; 17.3% of the women versus 28.3% of the men held the top of the condom to avoid air entering; 91.4% of the women versus 75.6% of the men correctly unrolled the condom. Taking all the four criteria together, only approximately 11% of participants performed a correct condom use demonstration. FSWs frequently reported condom breakage, which was significantly associated with incorrect condom demonstration (P = 0.04). Correct condom use is suboptimal in these heavy consumers of male condoms in Benin. Condom breakage is frequent and is associated with incorrect use.
我们的目标是评估贝宁科托努的女性性工作者（FSW）及其潜在男性客户是否知道如何正确使用男用避孕套。2000年4月至6月，对314名女性性工作者和208名男性进行了访谈，并要求他们在木制阴茎模型上演示他们通常如何使用男用避孕套。总体而言，27.6%的女性和男性在避孕套包装的切口处撕开包装；89.3%的女性能轻松找到正确的一面，而男性为75.4%；17.3%的女性和28.3%的男性捏住避孕套顶端以避免空气进入；91.4%的女性和75.6%的男性正确展开避孕套。综合这四个标准来看，只有约11%的参与者进行了正确的避孕套使用演示。女性性工作者经常报告避孕套破裂，这与不正确的避孕套演示显著相关（P = 0.04）。在贝宁这些大量使用男用避孕套的人群中，正确使用避孕套的情况并不理想。避孕套破裂频繁，且与使用不当有关。
