Introduction Young people and commercial sex workers are among those at greatest risk for HIV/AIDS infection and transmission. This paper examines parallels and differences in the dynamics of condom use between these two groups in South Africa, a country with one of the fastest growing HIV epidemics worldwide. The socio-behavioural determinants of condom use between urban female commercial sex workers (CSWs) and their partners, both in professional sexual relations with clients and in personal relationships with domestic partners are explored, and compared with urban Zulu youth and their partners. The extent to which HIV/AIDS awareness or perception of infection risk influences condom use in these groups is also addressed. These data illustrate the pivotal influence socio-cultural, conceptual, ideological, and economic factors have on condom use and in determining (sexual) behavior in general. These observations also reinforce the importance of considering such elements in the design and ultimate success of HIV intervention programs.
