 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.
