Only 33 per cent use condoms with friends

That friend with benefits could also be a friend with chlamydia. How sexy is that?

An Acadia University graduate student is researching FWB relationships, with an eye to finding out why friends who have sex aren't likely to use condoms.

"Sexually transmitted infections - like chlamydia, AIDS, HIV - among adolescents and young adults, have rapidly increased over the past couple of years," Heather Patterson said. "By understanding what goes on in the friends-with-benefits relationship, it would be possible to develop prevention programs specifically geared towards increasing consistent condom use."
