The female condom is a dual protection tool for both prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission and conception of unwanted pregnancies. In Migori, HIV prevalence is 16 percent and utilization of female condom is at 0.3 percent. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 380 youths who were systematically and randomly sampled. Majority of youths (86.6%) were aged between 18 and 25 years with 83.9 percent being single, 95.3 percent were Christians, and 4.7 percent Muslim. There was a significant association between marital status, Men's role in negotiation of safe sex, incompetence in female condom insertion, and utilization of the female condom.
女用避孕套是一种既能预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播又能防止意外怀孕的双重保护工具。在米戈里，艾滋病毒感染率为16%，而女用避孕套的使用率仅为0.3%。我们对380名经过系统随机抽样的年轻人进行了一项描述性横断面研究。大多数年轻人（86.6%）年龄在18至25岁之间，其中83.9%为单身，95.3%是基督教徒，4.7%是穆斯林。婚姻状况、男性在安全性行为谈判中的作用、女用避孕套插入能力不足与女用避孕套的使用之间存在显著关联。
