200 regular condom users will be recruited from family planning clinics and other community sources. A randomised, controlled investigator blinded, crossover design is being used. Participants will be reviewed at 3 and 6 months. Couples will be randomised to start either with latex condoms alone (Durex Extra Safe) or with additional Duragel (nonoxynol-9 contracceptive gel) applied to the outside of the condom prior to initial penetration. Participants are heterosexual couples using condoms for vaginal non-commercial intercourse in stable relationships of at least 3 months duration. Those under 18, or unable to provide data due to communication difficulties will be excluded from the trial.
