-> women reporting prior treatment for an STD did not know the disease
they were being treated for was sexually transmitted. Condom use for
disease prevention was more frequently reported by women who had
previously been treated for an STD (OR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.23 - 2.13).
However, condom use for contraception was a stronger predictor of use
for STD prevention. Women who relied on condoms for contraception were
almost 10 times more likely to also report condom use for STD
prevention relative to women who did not use condoms for contraceptive
purposes (OR = 9.71, 95% CI 7.0 - 13.5). In addition, condom use was
associated with the perceived attitude of their sexual partner toward
such use. Condom use to prevent STD acquisition was more than twice as
frequently reported when a favorable attitude was perceived by a male
sexual partner (OR = 2.30, 95% CI 1.54 - 3.43). Our findings suggest I:
that prevention of unplanned pregnancy was a stronger motivator for
condom use than disease prevention among the women comprising our study
group. The findings also indicate the need for more extensive
DE information regarding STD prevention among women at high risk for STD
