Key Points

To assess the role of condom negotiation confidence on actual condom use among sexually experienced women of reproductive age in rural Tanzania.
Analyzed cross-sectional household survey data collected in 2011 across Rufiji, Kilombero, and Ulanga districts in Tanzania (N=2,614 sexually experienced women aged 15–49 years).
Assessed the association between confidence in negotiating condom use and condom use at last sexual intercourse using multivariate logistic regression adjusting for sociodemographic factors and HIV knowledge.
Overall condom use at last sexual intercourse was 22.2%, ranging from 12.2% among married women to 54.9% among unmarried women.
Women confident in negotiating condom use (73.4% of the cohort) were significantly more likely to have used a condom at last intercourse than non-confident women (OR = 3.13, 95% CI 2.22–4.41).
