| description | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Women's perceived control over condom use has been found to be an important determinant of actual condom use in some studies.

Conversely, no measure of condom use control was significantly associated with condom use with clients.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Perceived control over condom use was an important determinant of condom use with main partners, but not clients, among sex workers in Madagascar. Programs working with sex workers should reach out to main and commercial partners of sex workers to increase male condom use.</p> |
