title: Assessment of fully and partially condom-protected sex among US women: the potential for overestimating protected sex acts.
abstract: Limited information is available on potential over-reporting of protected sex acts among US women. Of 19,003 sex acts reported by 705 participants over a 3-month period, 26.9% and 9.2% were fully and partially protected by a condom, respectively. The potential for misclassifying partially condom-protected sex acts as fully condom-protected sex acts is discussed.
