| dc.description.abstract | Abstract High rates of unintended pregnancy and HIV
infection occur in sub-Saharan Africa yet few Kenyan
studies have defined correlates of condom use in sexually
active female adolescents. Female adolescents receiving
reproductive health care and aged 15–19 were interviewed.
The prevalence of ever-use of condom was 21.4% and 52
(7.3%) subjects were infected with HIV-1. Older age,
higher levels of education, ever-use of hormonal contraceptives
and higher numbers of sexual partners, nonconsensual
sex and exchange of sex for favours, were
independent correlates of condom use. Condom use should
be promoted in this population. Further exploration is
needed on the developmental and contextual factors predisposing
female adolescents to increased risk of HIV. | en |
