This paper examines predictors of condom cognitions and condom use for vaginal sex within women's main and paying partnerships. The sample consisted of active injection drug and crack-using women recruited from two cities with disparate HIV rates. A total of 338 drug-using women who reported vaginal sex with a main and/or paying partner in the prior 30 days were recruited for this study. Recruitment site was a significant predictor for several of the variables examined, for both main and paying partners. Ethnicity and prior HIV test result were also significant predictors, but only for main sex partners. Findings support previous research and suggest that the factors which predict condom beliefs, intention, and behaviors are different for main versus paying partners. Interventions designed to increase condom use must recognize that cognitive factors associated with condom use may vary by partner type, ethnicity, and recruitment site, particularly when important contextual variables, such as local seroprevalence, vary.
本文探讨了女性主要性伴侣及付费性伴侣中，避孕套认知和阴道性行为时使用避孕套情况的预测因素。样本由从两个艾滋病病毒感染率不同的城市招募的活跃注射吸毒和吸食强效可卡因的女性组成。本研究共招募了338名在过去30天内与主要性伴侣和/或付费性伴侣有过阴道性行为的吸毒女性。对于主要性伴侣和付费性伴侣的多个研究变量而言，招募地点都是一个重要的预测因素。种族和既往艾滋病病毒检测结果也是重要的预测因素，但仅适用于主要性伴侣。研究结果支持了先前的研究，并表明预测避孕套观念、意图和行为的因素，在主要性伴侣和付费性伴侣之间存在差异。旨在增加避孕套使用的干预措施必须认识到，与避孕套使用相关的认知因素可能因伴侣类型、种族和招募地点而异，尤其是当重要的背景变量（如当地血清阳性率）不同时。
