  4. Key findings • Type of relationship and context of sexual act are determinant to understand unprotected sex. • Prevention programs should insist upon the necessity of always carrying a condom. • Screening of both partners, in particular with the wife, should be highly recommended. • Having participated in a prevention program specifically targeting MSM constitutes a major prevention factor, both with men and women. • So, MSM programs are effective and must be pursed and extended. However, these programs must address heterosexual practices of MSM. MEN HAVING SEX WITH MEN AND FACTORS OF NOT USING A CONDOM IN SENEGAL
