Disadvantages of condoms

Females were more likely to report more inconsistent condom use over time. Neighborhood disadvantage characteristics were associated with less baseline condom use, but did not have an association with changes in youth’s condom use over the high school years. That rate increases when condoms are used correctly, used every time you have intercourse and when combined with spermicide. Using a three-level hierarchical linear model, we modeled inconsistent condom use over time and then examined its association with youth’s sexual risk trajectories (sexual intercourse frequency, number of partners, and pregnancy
concerns) and individual-level characteristics (sex, age, SES, and household composition), and neighborhood disadvantage. The condom must be carefully removed immediately after ejaculation so that no semen leaks out.

We examined the association between neighborhood characteristics and condom use in a sample of African American youth followed across the high school years (N = 681; 51% female).
