Compare the occurrence of risk-inducing condom events (condom failures and incomplete use) and the frequency of their antecedents (condom errors, fit/feel problems, and erection problems) between Black and White MSM, and determine the associations between risk-inducing condom events and their antecedents. We studied cross-sectional data of 475 MSM who indicated using a condom as an insertive partner in the previous 6 months enrolled in a cohort study in Atlanta, GA. Nearly 40% of Black MSM reported breakage or incomplete use, and they were more likely to report breakage, early removal, and delayed application of a condom than White MSM. Only 31% and 54% of MSM reported correct condom use and suboptimal fit/feel of a condom respectively. The use of oil-based lubricants and suboptimal fit/feel were associated with higher odds of reporting breakage (P = 0.009). Suboptimal fit/feel was also associated with higher odds of incomplete use of condoms (P <0.0001). Incomplete use of condoms and condom failures were especially common among Black MSM. Our findings indicate that condoms likely offered them less protection against HIV/STI when compared to White MSM. More interventions are needed, particularly addressing the use of oil-based lubricants and suboptimal fit/feel of condoms.
