ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:

A qualitative study design utilizing interpretive phenomenological analysis was employed. Data were collected through field observation and face-to-face in-depth interviews among older adults aged 50 years or above and having engaged in sexual activities within the previous year.RESULTS:
Three main themes emerged perceiving unnecessary due to misconceptions and low awareness, interactive stereotypes rooted in sociocultural beliefs, and stigmatized social norms including gender inequity and economic unbalance.CONCLUSIONS:
Tailored interventions focusing on addressing misconceptions, increasing awareness, and reducing culturally ingrained stereotypes and stigma surrounding condom use are essential to promote condom use among older adults in order to prevent HIV transmission in China.Palabras clave
