This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the frequency distribution of condom use according to vulnerability factors for sexually transmitted infections in quilombola communities in Sergipe, Brazil.Methods:
Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out between 2016-2017. A structured questionnaire with sociodemographic and behavioral issues was used; and rapid HIV and syphilis tests were performed. Comparisons between categorical variables were performed using Fisher's exact test.Results:
Among the 367 individuals from 14 communities, the majority were of low education (72.8%), without work (59.7%) and had a fixed sexual partner (90.7%). Lack of access to inputs and prevention information made up the programmatic vulnerability of individuals. There was a higher proportion of inconsistent condom use with a steady partner (90.1%) in individuals who reported lack of access to information (p=0.001) and inconsistent use with an occasional partner (p<0.001).Conclusion:
The frequency of condom use with a steady partner was significantly proportional to the use with a casual partner and access to preventive information.RESUMO
Objetivo:
Analisar a frequência do uso de preservativos segundo fatores de vulnerabilidade para infecções sexualmente transmissíveis em comunidades quilombolas de Sergipe, Brasil.Métodos:
Estudo transversal descritivo, realizado entre 2016 e 2017. Utilizou-se questionário estruturado, com questões sociodemográficas e comportamentais; foram realizados testes rápidos de HIV e sífilis. Comparações entre variáveis categóricas foram realizadas pelo teste exato de Fisher.Resultados:
Entre os 367 indivíduos de 14 comunidades, a maioria apresentava baixa escolaridade (72,8%), encontrava-se sem trabalho (59,7%) e possuía parceiro sexual fixo (90,7%). Falta de acesso a insumos e informações de prevenção compuseram a vulnerabilidade programática dos indivíduos. Houve maior proporção de uso inconsistente do preservativo com parceiro fixo (90,1%), em indivíduos que relataram falta de acesso à informação (p=0,001) e uso inconsistente com parceiro eventual (p<0,001).Conclusão:
A frequência de uso do preservativo com parceiro fixo foi significativamente proporcional ao uso com parceiro eventual e ao acesso a informação preventiva.
