To determine whether condom access is associated with consistent condom use among female sex workers (FSWs) in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, between 2004 and 2006 we administered a questionnaire to 924 FSWs who reported unprotected sex with a client in the past 2 months. Of these women, 43% reported consistent ("often" or "always") condom use, 74% said condoms were available, and 38 % reported having access to free condoms. In a logistic regression, factors positively associated with consistent condom use were condom availability (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-3.03), condom affordability (AOR =1.72; 95% CI: 1.25-2.38) and self-efficacy (AOR =2.16; 95% CI: 1.54-3.04). Factors inversely associated with consistent condom use included poor financial status (AOR =0.65; 95% CI: 0.47-0.90), methamphetamine use (AOR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.40-0.83), alcqhol use (AOR= 0.68; 95% CI: 0.49-0.96), and recent injection drug use (AOR =0.62; 95% CI: 0.39-0.97). While increased condom availability may improve condom use among FSWs in general, interventions to broaden condom use among lower income and drug-using FSWs are critically needed.
