Correlates of condom failure in a sexually active cohort of men who have sex with men

Article Abstract:

Many gay men should be taught how to use a condom properly to avoid breaking it. In a study of 2,592 HIV-negative gay men who used condoms during anal sex, 17% reported breaking it or having teh condom slip off. Alcohol and amphetamine use were linked to condom failure, as was unemployment and lack of private insurance. Men who used lubricants with the condom were less likely to have a condom failure.
