Knowing a Sexual Partner Is HIV-1-Uninfected Is Associated With Higher Condom Use Among HIV-1-Infected Adults in Kenya

In Brief The relation between awareness of sexual partner's HIV serostatus and unprotected sex was examined in HIV clinic enrollees. Increased condom use was associated with knowing that a partner was HIV-negative (adjusted odds ratio = 5.99; P < 0.001) versus not knowing partner's status. Partner testing may increase condom use in discordant couples. Among sexually active HIV-seropositive adults enrolling in HIV care in Kenya, patients with HIV-negative partners were more likely to report condom use than those who were unaware of partner's HIV status.
