Abstract

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is one of the most dreaded diseases of this century. Condom use is probably the most effective way to combat the disease. Objective: To study the factors associated with condom use among high school students in Natitingou in 2017.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional analytical study involving 202 individuals, based on non-random sampling technique with exhaustive choice. Collected data were processed and analyzed with Epi-Data 3.1 and Epi-Info 7.

Results: 128 male and 74 female students were included in the study. Mean age was 19.51 years. Prevalence of condom use was 40.63%. Factors associated with condom use were: level of education, injecting drug use, knowing one's HIV status, ease access to condom, friends' point of view on voluntary testing.

Conclusions: There is still room for improving the prevalence of condom use among high school students, and this suggests the social gradient perspective that other more in-depth studies will be able to specify.
