To evaluate potential associations among condom errors and gonorrhea and chlamydial infection among a population of sexually transmitted disease clinic patients.
Audio computer-assisted self-interviewing was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey with 1124 participants. Biological specimens were collected during the evaluation visit.
A substantial proportion of participants reported condom-use errors with condom breakage statistically associated with gonorrhea infection among males at enrollment (AOR = 1.91; 95% CI: 123-2.96; P = .004).
Behavioral interventions that promote consistent condom use must provide the necessary skills associated with proper condom use.
评估性病门诊患者中避孕套使用错误与淋病和衣原体感染之间的潜在关联。
采用音频计算机辅助自我访谈对1124名参与者进行横断面调查。在评估访视期间收集生物标本。
相当一部分参与者报告了避孕套使用错误，避孕套破裂在入组时与男性淋病感染有统计学关联（比值比=1.91；95%可信区间：1.23-2.96；P=0.004）。
促进始终如一地使用避孕套的行为干预措施必须提供与正确使用避孕套相关的必要技能。
