N2 - Objectives: To examine the use of the female condom (FC) for anal sex among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. Methods: An online survey among 3,837 MSM. Results: 5.2% had used the FC for anal sex. Use was higher among those who had used the FC for vaginal sex (OR = 14.39, p <.001), those with multiple partners, (OR = 2.68, p =.004), and those who were HIV-positive (OR = 2.07, p <.001) or on PrEP (OR = 2.66, p <.001). Conclusions: FC use for anal sex was associated with the risk of HIV infection/transmission and may be a risk reduction strategy used by MSM in the United States.
