Data were collected in clinics treating sexually transmitted infections in three southern U.S. cities. Men 15\u201323 years of age who identified as Black\/African American and reported recent (past two months) penile\u2013vaginal sex were eligible (N\u2009=\u2009578). Logistic regression was used to examine whether desire to conceive a child (self and perception of partners\u2019 desire) predicted condom use, adjusting for age and whether they had previously impregnated someone. Their own level of desire to conceive a child was not significantly associated with unprotected vaginal sex or the proportion of times a condom was used. However, those who perceived higher level of someone wanting to conceive their child were 1.73 times more likely to report unprotected vaginal sex ( P\u2009=\u2009.006) and 1.62 times more likely to report a lower proportion of times condoms were used ( P\u2009=\u2009.019). Young Black men attending sexually transmitted infection clinics in the USA may forego condom use based on a perceived desire of their partners to become pregnant, putting themselves at risk for sexually transmitted infection acquisition and unplanned pregnancy. Findings provide initial support for the relevance of the idea that perceptions of women partners\u2019 desire to conceive may be a critical determinant of condomless sex.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462414563623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,13]],"date-time":"2014-12-13T20:27:10Z","timestamp":1418502430000},"page":"941-944","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Desire to father a child and condom use: a study of young black men at risk of sexually transmitted infections"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","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, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Rural Center for AIDS\/STD Prevention, 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, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Rural Center for AIDS\/STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology at the University of Southampton, Southampton, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robin R","family":"Milhausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Rural Center for AIDS\/STD Prevention, Indiana University, 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, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Rural Center for AIDS\/STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Gender Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William L","family":"Yarber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"Rural Center for AIDS\/STD Prevention, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura F","family":"Salazar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivy","family":"Terrell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Louisiana State University, Department of Pediatrics, New Orleans, LA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Pasternak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Louisiana State University, Department of Pediatrics, New Orleans, LA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462414563623","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n                      HIV\/AIDS Surveillance (year end edition).\n                      Atlanta, GA: US Department of Health and Human Services, 2011."},{"key":"bibr2-0956462414563623","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n                      African Americans and AIDS.\n                      Atlanta, GA: Department of Health and Human Services, 2006."},{"key":"bibr3-0956462414563623","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n                      HIV\/AIDS among African Americans\n                      .
