虽然避孕套使用的双重功能（预防怀孕和预防性病）是众所周知的，很少有人知道避孕套使用的决定因素，以预防性病时，避孕是不是一个问题。我们比较了两种与新性伴侣使用避孕套的意图：一种是基于未提及怀孕风险的小插曲，另一种是基于明确说明没有怀孕风险的小插曲。我们还调查了在没有怀孕风险的情况下使用避孕套的意图是否会改变，以便从性病风险认知的角度预测这种变化。这项横断面调查由151名本科生完成。两种避孕套使用意愿之间的相关系数接近于零（0.02; p= 0.783）。Logistic回归分析显示，两个性病风险认知变量区分一致和不一致的记者，他们打算使用安全套。研究结果从政策，方法和理论的角度进行了讨论。
Although the dual function of condom use (preventing pregnancy and preventing STDs) is well known, little is known about the determinants of condom use for STD prevention when contraception is not an issue. We compared two intentions to use condoms with a new sex partner: one based on a vignette not mentioning pregnancy risk and one on a vignette explicitly stating there was no risk of pregnancy. We also investigated whether intentions to use condoms change when there is no pregnancy risk, to allow such changes to be predicted from an STD risk-perception perspective. This cross-sectional survey was completed by 151 undergraduate students. The correlation coefficient between the two intentions about condom use approached zero (0.02; p=.783). Logistic regression showed that two STD risk-perception variables distinguished between consistent and non-consistent reporters of their intention to use condoms. Findings are discussed from the perspectives of policy, methodology and theory.
