Objective (s): To determine the predictors of condom use intention among Iranian men with history of addiction.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study of a sample of 128 men with history of addiction attending to slef-hep groups in Qom, Iran. Data were collected through a valid structured questionnaire based on the health belief model.
Results: The results showed the perceived benefits and perceived barriers were the strongest predictors of condom use intention. According to the results, the most important perceived benefit of condom use was HIV prevention and for the perceived barrier it was sexual pleasure reduction.
Conclusion: This study indicated that perceived benefit and perceived barrier could predict intention of condom use.
