Male Perspectives on Condom Use

For a very long time gender issues have concentrated attention on women. Consequently, interventions have not been that successful in protecting women from diseases. Considering the given role of men in sexual intercourse, particularly in a patriarchal society as Ghana's, and given heterosexual contact as the primary route of HIV transmission to women, prevention efforts that undermineD the role of men is unlikely to achieve enduring success, if any. This book discusses the influence of condom use on men's sexual behavior. The book joins the debate on the gendered nature of HIV and AIDS prevention in Africa.
