Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To examine whether nonbarrier modern contraceptive use is associated with less consistent condom use among Kenyan female sex workers (FSWs). STUDY DESIGN: Researchers recruited 579 FSWs using respondent-driven sampling. We conducted multivariate logistic regression to examine the association between consistent condom use and female-controlled nonbarrier modern contraceptive use. RESULTS: A total of 98.8% reported using male condoms in the past month, and 64.6% reported using female-controlled nonbarrier modern contraception. In multivariate analysis, female-controlled nonbarrier modern contraceptive use was not associated with decreased condom use with clients or nonpaying partners. CONCLUSION: Consistency of condom use is not compromised when FSWs use available female-controlled nonbarrier modern contraception. IMPLICATIONS: FSWs should be encouraged to use condoms consistently, whether or not other methods are used simultaneously.
