Finally, it is important to highlight the significance of condom use for family planning. Our findings
show that both males and females are more likely to try condoms if they perceive them to be
effective for family planning. Males are also more likely to have used a condom in last intercourse
with their regular partner if they perceive condoms effective for family planning. Thus, in
this low HIV prevalence setting, it appears to be very important for youth reproductive health
campaigns to emphasize that condoms are effective for both pregnancy prevention and STI/HIV
prevention.
