BMC Public Health volume 19 , Article number: Cite this article. Metrics details. The emergence of biomedical and seroadaptive HIV prevention strategies has coincided with a decline in condom use among gay men. We undertook a social ecological analysis of condom use and perceptions using nineteen semi-structured interviews with HIV negative gay men in Vancouver, Canada who used HAART-based prevention strategies.

Aims: to study condom use amongst those who practice anal intercourse. Methods: a sample of clients attending anonymously for pretest counselling for HIV infection at the Burnett Clinic, Auckland, gave detailed information about their sexual behaviour. Those most likely to use condoms were homosexual men, prostitutes, those with multiple partners and those with an HIV infected partner. Those least likely to use condoms were heterosexual men or women.

Cross sectional and longitudinal data on condom use among homosexually active men is presented. Aggregate changes across the time-period indicate an increase in condom use for both insertive and receptive anal intercourse, particularly with casual partners. Condom use is still much more prevalent with casual rather than regular partners. Longitudinal analysis show considerable changes at the individual level, with almost a third of men changing their practices.
