[Condom use among young Chileans: The role of social determinants, gender roles and mental health].

Background: Despite various strategies implemented to promote sexual education and prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the 10th National Youth Survey revealed that slightly more than half of young people in Chile used a condom during their last sexual encounter.

Aim: To examine the relationship between social determinants, gender roles, and mental health symptoms with condom use in young Chileans.

Subjective culture and HIV preventive behaviour among young Latin Americans: a systematic review.

This study aimed to identify the cultural variables associated with three HIV preventive behaviours (condom use, HIV testing behaviour, and injection drug use with non-shared or sterilised syringes) among young Latin Americans.
