This workshop report examines how to develop polices and programmes which promote condom use as an HIV prevention strategy. The topics explored include: the relationship between sexuality, gender and condom use; working with particular population groups, such as young people, sex workers, drug users and men who have sex with men; and the impact of anti-condom policies by national governments, including the United States, on condom promotion programmes.
