Self-efficacy for Safer Sex and Situational Temptation for Unsafe Sex |
Participants were asked to respond to 10 questions assessing self-efficacy in practicing condom use and safer sex communication with a partner. A sample item is "if I didn't want to have sex with my partner, I would be able to say no." Response options ranged from 1=Strongly agree to 4=Strongly disagree. Question scores ranged 1-4, values averaged and total scores ranged from 1 to 4, with lower values indicating higher self-efficacy |

Condom Use Errors |
The condom errors survey is a 12-item questionnaire was adapted to reflect a 6-week recall period. A sample question is "when you used condoms during the last six weeks, how often was the condom put on the wrong side up so that it had to be flipped over?" Response options ranged from 0=Never to 2=Always. Question scores ranged 0-2, values averaged and total scores ranged from 0 to 2, with lower values indicating fewer condom use errors. |

Number of Condomless Anal Sex Acts |
The number of condomless anal sex acts (CASA) will be evaluated at all time points using the AIDS-Risk Behavior Assessment (ARBA) adapted for YMSM. At each timepoint, participants were asked to report the past 3 month number of insertive and receptive anal sex acts during which condoms were not used. |
