A secondary objective was to determine whether more errors\/problems occurred among men reporting sex with multiple partners compared with those reporting one sexual partner. Data were collected in clinics treating patients with sexually transmitted infections in three Southern US cities. Men, 15\u201323 years of age who identified as Black\/African American and reported recent (past 2 months) condom use were eligible (N\u2009=\u2009475). Condom use errors and problems were common, with some of the most critical errors occurring for greater than one of every five young Black men, such as late application, early removal, slipping off during sex, and re-using condoms. For 8 (33.3%) of the 24 errors\/problems assessed, young Black men reporting more than one sexual partner in the previous 2 months experienced more errors and problems than men reporting only one partner. The disease protective value of condoms may be sub-optimal in this population. A need exists to improve the quality of condom use among young Black men at risk of sexually transmitted infection acquisition or transmission. Intensified clinic-based intervention that helps young Black men improve the quality of their condom use behaviours is warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462414526707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,19]],"date-time":"2014-03-19T23:43:42Z","timestamp":1395272622000},"page":"943-948","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Condom use errors and problems: a study of high-risk young Black men residing in three Southern US cities"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Richard A","family":"Crosby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Public Health at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA"},{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robin R","family":"Milhausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition at the University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie A","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Gender Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia A","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William L","family":"Yarber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"School of Public Health at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462414526707","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
