TL;DR
Condom use errors were common among subjects reporting consistent condom use and for MSW, condom error was associated with a significant increased risk of STD, supporting the premise that correctness of condom use is an important methodologic issue in studies assessing condom effectiveness.
Abstract
Condom use errors were common among subjects reporting consistent condom use and for MSW, condom error was associated with a significant increased risk of STD. These data support the premise that correctness of condom use is an important methodologic issue in studies assessing condom effectiveness.

There was no association between brand of condom and slippage but poor fitting condoms and non-spermicidal condoms were associated with more slips and the most common reason for slipperage was the condom being left on too long.

It is still possible that respondents who reported that they used condoms consistently differed from self‐reported nonusers or inconsistent users in some way that altered their risk of acquiring an STD and thus obscured the protective effects of properly used condoms.
