Abstract
Introduction: Male condom use has been advocated to prevent unwanted pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). Predictors of condom use will help in understanding groups requiring more interventions. This study aims at determining the prevalence and predictors of male condom utilization in Ondo State. Methods: This is a secondary data analysis of the Nigeria National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2013 data set. Ondo state data was extracted. The study area was Ondo State, Nigeria. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study and it focused on men between ages 15-49 years. Descriptive statistics were done. Data was analysed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. Level of statistical significance was p<0.05. Results: The mean age of the 404 respondents was 29 ± 10 years, 215 (53.2%) were never in a marital union, 258 (63.8%) had secondary level of education. Out of 318 (78.7%) respondents who have ever had sex 91(28.7%) used condom at last sex. In age 15-24 categories 37(59.7%) used condoms while only 54(24.7%) used among respondents above 25 years, p<0.001. Among those who were never in any marital union 58(60.4%) used condom compared to 13(22.8%) of those who were living with partners, p<0.001. Men who were not in union had about 4 times odds of using condoms (OR 3.6, 95% Cl: 1.5-8.7, p=0.004). Conclusion: To reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and transmission of STI emphasis needs to be put on the use of condom. Effort at promoting condom use should be encouraged among men in marital union especially those having extramarital sex.
