The use of condoms is the main preventive measure to reduce and control the feminization and heterosexuals of AIDS. The objectives of the study were: to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of women about the use of condoms as a preventive measure to STIs/HIV; to associate sociodemographic factors (age, religion, education and marital status) with the knowledge, attitude and practice of condom use among women; and to analyze the association between knowledge and attitude with the practice of condom‟s use among married and single women. This is an evaluative research of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of cross-sectional quantitative approach with a sample of 300 women living in a subnormal region in the city of João Pessoa, over 18 years old and that already started sexual life. The data collection ocurred from June to August 2013, following a plan of systematic sampling, to jump three households. The instrument for data collection included sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, sexual/reproductive history, as well as questions involving knowledge, attitude and practice adapted from the models of KAP survey of the Ministry of Health and Nicolau (2010). Data were collected, stored and analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. For associations between variables, the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test was used, whereas a statistically significant result when p ≤ 0.05. The results indicated that most of the surveyed had aged ≥ 35 years, did not work, characterizing itself as housewives, Catholic religious orientation, finished the primary school, mixed race, heterosexual, married and with income about a minimum salary. Most had first sexual intercourse before the age of majority and did not use condoms during their first sexual intercourse. Regarding the suitability of the KAP on the male condom, the majority possessed inadequate knowledge, proper attitude and bad practice. For the female condom knowledge, attitudes and practices were inadequate. There were no significant associations between the suitability and demographic data about the female condom. However, for the male condom were associated significantly, religious guidance and proper knowledge, education and proper attitude. The association between marital status and adequate practice greatly approached the level of significance. The relationship between attitude/practice is much stronger (p < 0.05) than knowledge/practice among married and single interface.
