Information was obtained from over 200 males visiting a family planning service either to obtain free-of-charge condoms or incidental to accompanying their female partner. The former group was younger and more likely to reside near the health department: over 40 percent of this group used the health department as sole condom source. Both groups indicated willingness to share in costs for male services. Future programs need to more effectively plan public health family planning for these males.
