dc.description.abstractConsistent condom use amongst women and men is one of the important safer sexual practices in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS. This dissertation examines factors which hinder or facilitate consistent male condom use, particularly as it relates to women's sexual satisfaction. Findings indicated that women felt that it was important to use condoms during sexual intercourse in order to obtain protection against HIV, STIs and pregnancy. Just over half of the women reported condom use at last sexual intercourse. Women's own sexual dissatisfaction was regarded as one of the main reasons why condoms were not consistently used by women. The results of this study suggest that that while it is important for HIV/AIDS interventions to focus it is also important to better understand a less investigated issue of women's own possible resistance to male condom use.en_ZA
