The activities taken depend on the request of each
partner. Based on their sexual activity, there are
MSM who are associated with regular partners, non-
permanent partners, and once partners. Some
couples use condoms consistently and some other do
not.
Three MSMs use condom consistently because
they successfully negotiate with their partner to use
it. Meanwhile, other MSMs did not do the same
because they feel safe (not contracting the disease)
for having only one regular partner. The former
MSMs were influenced by the perception of
vulnerability, in that they use condom because they
have unsafe sexual behavior, have changing
partners, and choose anal or oral sex; all of which
increase the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission.
Conversely, the latter choose not to use condom
because they were affected by the perception of
barriers, in that their partner is unwilling to wear it.
This is consistent with Kawangung (2012) who
stated one of the reasons of not using condom is
their mutual trust in their partner. Another study
conducted by Jie et al, (2012) revealed that personal
assumptions and feelings towards regular partners
and financial incentives are factors that create the
barriers to use condom by sex workers. Factors of
trust and feelings of love are also barriers that hinder
the use of condoms. It is proven by Stoebenau et al
(2009) in his research about transvestites and that
MSMs have different treatment between clients or
regular customers and a regular partner. Again, an
MSM in this study insisted on not using condoms for
fear of losing customers even though he already
knew how to use condoms: looking at the expiration
date, paying attention to how to open it, sliding to
the edge and then opening, making sure the air
cavity should not bubble up.
5 CONCLUSIONS
Three MSMs decided to use condom consistently,
one MSM did not use it because he has a regular
partner, leading him to feel safer, and another MSM
did not use condom for fear of losing his customers.
