背景：坚持和正确使用避孕套对预防人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)仍然很重要。虽然许多研究评估了安全套的持续使用情况，但很少有研究调查性交过程中安全套的使用情况，目的：评估使用避孕套的行为如何影响怀孕和使用避孕套期间感染的风险。研究设计：过去一个月对佐治亚州两所大学的98名男生的避孕套行为进行了横断面调查。结果：总共270名学生中有35名：避孕套的使用(13.0%，95%可信区间，7.4-18.5)导致了潜在的性传播疾病和/或艾滋病毒感染或怀孕。一致和不一致的使用者在使用避孕套期间报告潜在暴露的可能性相似。结论：这些发现表明安全套问题在一致和不一致的使用者中都存在。未来对避孕套有效性的研究必须区分避孕套的使用是否一致和正确。
Background: Consistent and correct condom use remains important to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention. Although many studies evaluate consistent condom use, few examine how condoms are used during intercourse,Goals: Assess how user practices affect exposure to risks of pregnancy and infection during condom use.Study Design: A cross-sectional survey on condom behaviors in the past month was conducted among 98 male students attending two Georgia universities.Results: Altogether, 35 of 270 total: condom uses (13.0%, 95% confidence interval, 7.4-18.5) resulted in potential exposure to sexually transmitted disease and/or HIV infection or pregnancy. Both consistent and inconsistent users were similarly likely to report potential exposures during condom use.Conclusion: These findings suggest condom problems occur among both consistent and inconsistent users. Future studies of condom effectiveness must distinguish whether condoms were used both consistently and correctly.
