Condom utilization remains as the forefront guard to reduce the HIV/AIDS pandemic. However, evidence showed that the dynamics of gendered power, beliefs, and attitudes about condoms and sexuality retards condom use for a large proportion of Africa's people. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between women's autonomy in health decision making and attitude to condom use in reducing risk for HIV in Ethiopia using a nationally representative, population-based household survey data.
