AB OBJECTIVE: To assess the need for HIV education among male heterosexuals
applying for immigration to the United States. METHODS: As part of their
medical examination process for U.S. immigration, 3,266 consecutive
mostly Hispanic (90%) applicants were examined at San Francisco Bay Area
health clinics. Included for this study was a subset of 1,317
heterosexual men over age 18 with at least 1 female sex partner in the
last 5 years. Demographics, relationship status and number of female
partners were examined as predictors of condom use with the
Mantel-Haenszel test for trend. RESULTS: Of 303 men married > 5 yrs.,
125 (41%) had extramarital sexual partners. Percentage using condoms by
relationship status and number of sex partners in past 5 yrs. TABULAR
DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. Three-quarters of men with 6+ sexual partners
did not use condoms. Condom use increased significantly in extramarital
contacts with increasing number of partners. Singles lacked a trend.
CONCLUSION: With the vast majority not using condoms for non-marital
sex, this finding indicates a need for better HIV prevention education
among persons applying to immigrate to the USA.
