Promoting CSD500 Use Among Women in Established Relationships

CSD500 is a commercial condom that complies fully with the requirements of ISO 4074, the international standard for male latex condoms. The product is designed to increase sexual pleasure.

The standard condom is a standard condom in Vietnam at the time of the study. It is provided for pregnancy and disease prevention.

The intervention arm will receive counseling that briefly addresses condom's dual protection against pregnancy and HIV/STI but that otherwise emphasizes the potential for increased sexual pleasure with CSD500 use. Counseling to this arm also will include CSD500-specific instructions, such as the need to briefly massage the gel inside the condom teat onto the penis head after donning the condom and to not use multiple condoms within a 24-hour period. The control arm will receive standard counseling to use condoms for pregnancy and disease prevention without receiving any messages about the use of condoms for sexual pleasure.
