Cross-sectional study reveals significant disparities in consistent condom use among sexually experienced undergraduates, highlighting the need for targeted sexual health interventions.

Key Points

Determine the relative importance of predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with consistent condom use to address prevention inequities among sexually experienced university students.
Conducted an anonymous online survey between September 10, 2018, and January 9, 2019, across 30 provinces in mainland China.
Analyzed data from a subset of 2,054 sexually experienced undergraduates out of 12,750 total respondents.
Evaluated determinants of consistent condom use utilizing Pearson's chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression models.
The overall rate of consistent condom use was 61.3% (95% CI: 59.2%–63.4%).
Consistent condom use was lower among heterosexual women (AOR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64–0.96), non-heterosexual men (AOR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.45–0.92), and non-heterosexual women (AOR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.47–0.99) compared to heterosexual men.
Independent positive predictors of consistent condom use included high condom use self-efficacy (AOR = 2.86, 95% CI: 2.35–3.49), knowledge of national AIDS policy (AOR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.23–1.82), delayed sexual initiation (AOR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.09–1.64), and having a single sexual partner (AOR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.21–2.33).
