Qualitative inquiry describes condom communication and reactions in sexually active young adults, suggesting implications for training.
The incidence of sexually transmitted infections is high, with recent estimates suggesting 110 million cases (CDC, 2013b). A key method to reducing the risk for sexually transmitted infections is the use of a condom. Consequently, this inquiry aimed to describe the content of and reactions to condom communication. Results revealed the following condom conversation strategies: condom possession, condom exploration, condom demand, and health concerns. Results both support and challenge previous condom studies, therefore extending and informing this line of research. Data further describe reactions to condom conversations and reasons for not having a condom conversation. Findings provide tangible evidence to be used in the training of sexually active young adults.
