This study explored African-Jamaican women's lived experiences and meanings around the communication and negotiation of male condoms used in their relationships. A qualitative phenomenological research design was utilized. Semi-structured interviews were collected with a small sample of nine African-Jamaican women living in Saint Mary, Jamaica. Results indicate that women's power in relationships may be masked, despite being at a disadvantage when communicating/negotiating male condom use. Several facilitators and barriers for communicating/negotiating condom use were identified. Interventions developed to combat the HIV epidemic in Islington, Saint Mary, must take into consideration structural factors in curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS.
本研究探讨了非洲裔牙买加女性在性关系中关于男性避孕套的沟通和协商方面的真实体验和意义。采用了定性现象学研究设计。对居住在牙买加圣玛丽的 9 名非洲裔牙买加女性进行了小型的半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，尽管在沟通/协商使用男用避孕套方面处于劣势，但女性在关系中的权力可能被掩盖。研究确定了沟通/协商使用避孕套的几个促进因素和障碍。为了在伊斯灵顿、圣玛丽打击艾滋病毒疫情，必须考虑到遏制艾滋病毒/艾滋病传播的结构性因素。
