What is it about?
This study looks into what married women know, how they feel, and what they do when it comes to using condoms to prevent HIV transmission. We found that when women had good knowledge, a positive attitude, and took the right actions, they were more likely to use condoms to protect themselves from HIV. This research helps us understand how important it is for women to have the right information and a positive attitude about condom use to stay safe from HIV.

Why is it important?
Our study's uniqueness lies in its examination of how married women handle condom use for HIV prevention, particularly when their husbands are reluctant to use them. This timely research addresses the complex dynamics surrounding HIV prevention within marital relationships, a critical concern in regions with high HIV prevalence. Understanding how knowledge, attitude, and behavior affect condom use in these situations can directly inform public health strategies and education campaigns. It can lead to tailored interventions that better serve married women's needs, ultimately contributing to more effective HIV prevention efforts. In summary, our study's focus on married women's condom use in the context of marital relationships makes it uniquely relevant to current HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, attracting readers interested in public health and HIV prevention strategies.
