OBJECTIVE: To identify correlates of women applying condoms. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey of 533 sexually-active women; questionnaire. RESULTS: Of the condom users (n = 322), 31.7% reported applying condoms at least once--an average on 59.7% of the occasions. Compared to nonappliers, appliers had more positive affect toward sexually related situations (erotophilia, P = .004) and a higher frequency of sex (P = .003). Condom users, compared to nonusers, were significantly younger (P = .001), were less likely to be in sexually exclusive relationships (P = .001) or married (P = .01), and reported more partners in the past 3 months (P = .001). CONCLUSIONS: Condom-applying women may have more positive attitudes toward sexuality and engage in a higher frequency of sexual activity.
