Description

Definition

Constructed from a series of questions, AIDCONUSEMN (MV765) reports whether the man has ever used condoms, and if so, whether he used condoms for family planning, for STI prevention, or for both reasons.

Men are asked about condom use for family planning reasons in the contraception table. AIDCONUSEMN also draws upon a question asking about the man's use of condoms for STI prevention. This question is often worded as "Have you ever used a condom during sexual relations to avoid getting AIDS or transmitting illnesses like AIDS?" or some slight variation.

IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in the related variable AIDCONHEARDMN (MV765), which indicates whether the man knew of condoms, and if so, whether he knew about using condoms for family planning, for STI prevention, or for both reasons.
