Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Seattle, Wash. 98108.

Just before and 4 months after initiation of a condom giveaway program, a questionnaire regarding sexual behavior and condom acquisition was administered to 103 men attending an outpatient drug abuse treatment clinic. Jars filled with a variety of condoms were placed in every clinic room. Condom taking varied as a function of room. Sixty percent of the subjects reported taking condoms. At follow-up, clients reported increases in condom possession and in use of condoms for vaginal intercourse.
