Objective: To identify factors associated with prevalent HIV in a national HIV survey in Kenya. Methods: The Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey was a nationally representative population-based sero-survey that examined demographic and behavioral factors and serologic testing for HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis in adults aged 15-64 years. We analyzed questionnaire and blood testing data to identify significant correlates of HIV infection among sexually active adults. Results: Of 10,957 eligible women and 8,883 men, we interviewed 10,239 (93%) women and 7,731 (87%) men. We collected blood specimens from 9,049 women and 6,804 men of which 6,447 women and 5,112 men were sexually active during the 12 months prior to the survey. HIV prevalence among sexually active adults was 7.4%. Factors independently associated with HIV among women were region (Nyanza vs Nairobi: adjusted OR [AOR] 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.3), number of lifetime sex partners (6-9 vs 0-1 partners: AOR 3.0, 95%CI 1.6-5.9), HSV-2 (AOR 6.5, 95%CI 4.9-8.8), marital status (widowed vs never married: AOR 2.7, 95%CI 1.5-4.8) and consistent condom use with last sex partner (AOR 2.3, 95%CI 1.6-3.4). Among men, correlates of HIV infection were 30-to-39-year-old age group (AOR 5.2, 95%CI 2.6-10.5), number of lifetime sex partners (10+ vs 0-1 partners, AOR 3.5, 95%CI 1.4-9.0), HSV-2 (AOR 4.7, 95%CI 3.2-6.8), syphilis (AOR 2.4, 95%CI 1.4-4.0), consistent condom use with last sex partner (AOR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.1) and lack of circumcision (AOR 4.0, 95%CI 2.8 - 5.5). Conclusion: Kenya’s heterogeneous epidemic will require regional and gender-specific prevention approaches.

Young Black men (YBM) experience disparities in both HIV incidence and incidence of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs); thus, developing efficacious behavioral interventions is an especially critical goal. One potential avenue for intervention involves improving sexual health communications among YBM and their partners, before sex occurs. Such discussions may serve several purposes, including improving condom use and facilitating the negotiation of correct and consistent condom use. The aim of the current study was to determine the STI-protective effects of discussing condom use with sex partners, among medically underserved YBM. A total of 702 YBM were recruited from three STI clinics in the Southern United States. YBM completed a self-interview at baseline and again 6 months later. At 12 months postenrollment, a chart review determined incidents of STIs. The majority of YBM participants (61.1%) had recently discussed condom use with partners before sex. Of the 12 assessed outcomes, 7 were significantly associated with this measure. In each case, a protective effect was observed. In controlled analyses, the 12-month incidence of STIs was significantly ( p = .05) greater among YBM not discussing condoms with sex partners. The results of the current study suggest that, among YBM attending clinics, discussing condom use with sex partners may promote safer sex practices. This behavior was also predictive of lower STI incidence in the ensuing 12 months, suggesting that it may be an ideal intervention target for programs designed to protect YBM against STI acquisition, including HIV.

Objectives: Little is known about the dynamics of condom use among female sex workers (FSWs) in Iran. We investigated the correlates of consistent condom use (CCU) among FSWs, using data from a national biobehavioral surveillance survey in 2010. Methods: A total of 872 FSWs were recruited using a facility-based sampling strategy from 21 sites in 13 cities in Iran. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a standardized questionnaire. Results: Overall, 33.6% and 17.3% of FSWs reported CCU with paying and nonpaying sex partners, respectively. Consistent condom use with paying partners was significantly associated with temporary marriage, accessing family planning services and history of working in brothels. Conversely, temporary marriage or married status, condom rupture/slippage, and HIV seropositivity remained independently significantly associated with CCU with nonpaying sex partners. Conclusion: Our findings indicated the urgent need for scaling up condom promotion interventions catered toward FSWs and their sex partners to practice safe sex consistently.

Background: Unsafe sex, particularly, condomless sex exposes adolescents to sexual and reproductive health risks. This study aimed to assess the sexual experiences and to determine the most important covariates of sexual activity and consistent condom use among adolescents in Plateau State, Nigeria.Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted among 428 adolescents selected from 6 LGAs through a multistage sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the IBM Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23, multiple logistic regression was conducted to determine the covariates of sexual activity and condom use.Results: About one third (38%) of the adolescents were sexually active, 5.7% had same sex partners, 70% had more than one sexual partner and majority (72.4%) were not consistently using condom during sex. Logistic regression results showed that older adolescents (OR = 5.73; CI = 3.72–8.12; p = 0.001) and out of school adolescents (OR = 2.68; CI = 1.79–4.00; p = 0.001) were more likely to be sexually active, while multivariable logistic regression analysis showed age (AOR = 0.33; CI = 0.12–0.90; p = 0.031) and gender as important covariates of being sexually active, (AOR = 6.29; CI = 3.18–12.44; p = 0.001). Inconsistent condom use was more likely among adolescents; with lower education, (OR = 2.14; CI = 1.19–3.85; p = 0.011), having sex with older partners (OR = 0.61; CI = 0.42–0.90; P = 0.013) and with low awareness of SRH issues (OR = 2.08; CI = 1.02–4.22; p = 0.044). The multivariable logistic regression however, showed gender, being male (AOR = 0.43; CI = 0.006–3.09; p = 0.023) as covariate of consistent condom use.Conclusion: Most sexually active adolescents had multiple sexual partners, some had same sex partners and majority were not consistently using condom. Older adolescents and those out of school were more likely to be sexually active. Awareness of SRH issues significantly influenced condom use while gender, specifically being male, was the independent covariate for being sexually active and for consistent condom use. We recommend sexual health intervention targeted at adolescents. In addition, gender should be mainstreamed into adolescent sexual and reproductive health programmes.
