Cross-sectional, door-to-door survey of men residing in a poor area of Kampala, Uganda. A multistage, probability sample was approximated by recruiting participants within randomly selected neighborhoods. A total of 301 men between the ages of 18 and 45 years answered questions about condom knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices. The respondents also provided demographic and HIV risk-related information. Condom use was higher than previously found in studies in Uganda: 46% of men reported using a condom at the last casual sexual encounter; 31% reported always using condoms with casual partners. In multivariate analysis, independent correlates of condom use included higher condom self-efficacy (4-item scale, odds ratio 1.3 per scale point), lower embarrassment around condoms (3-item scale, odds ratio 0.4...
