Abstract
In this research we investigate factors associated with nonuse of condoms for sexually active Botswana women. Nationally represented data, drawn from the 2004 Botswana AIDS Impact Survey, were used. A sample of 5,236 women aged 15–49 who have had sexual intercourse was considered for the analysis. Cross-tabulations were used to gain insights into the phenomena to be reinforced with logistic regression. Through logistic regression analysis, we reveal that the relative odds of having had no HIV/AIDS tests, had an older sexual partner, and had sexual intercourse intoxicated under alcohol were significantly less among teenagers and women aged 20–34. It is shown that women with primary education were less likely to have been tested for HIV/AIDS and have had sexual intercourse while intoxicated. Christians were less likely to have had sexual intercourse while intoxicated. Last, women who did not use condoms at last sexual intercourse were significantly more likely to have had sexual intercourse while under the influence of alcohol, had older sexual partners, and believed that people cannot reduce their chances of getting HIV/AIDS by using a condom.Keywords
