Abstract

The amount of MSM who suffer from HIV in Sukoharjo Regency reached 30.95% in 2017. HIV prevention in MSM was attempted by consistent use of condoms every time they have sexual intercourse. The purpose of this research is to describe MSM’s behavior of using condoms based on Health Belief Model in Sukoharjo. The research belongs to qualitative type with a case study approach. Informants of this research were five MSMs as the main informant, as well as one peer educator and one field coordinator as triangulation informants. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and then they were analyzed through content analysis. The results showed that most MSMs realized that they were susceptible to HIV and had the perception that condoms are beneficial to prevent HIV transmission. However, only two MSMs consistently use condoms. Most MSMs did not use condoms consistently because they were not sure of the effect and they found it to cause discomfort. They felt uncomfortable when the sex partner was using condom, yet they felt safe when having sex with a regular partner. Therefore, the barriers and self efficacy of the MSMs are related to the success of using condoms consistently. Hence, it is necessary to educate MSMs and their regular partner on using condom
