Our findings suggest that people living with serious mental illness who exhibit more severe negative symptoms are less likely to perceive themselves as capable of using condoms, condom negotiation, and/or condom acquisition, whereas those with more severe activation symptoms are more likely to express confidence in their capabilities. Interventions to prevent HIV and other STIs among people living with serious mental illness should take into account the effects of these symptom clusters on condom skills acquisition and perceptions of self-efficacy in carrying out needed protective behaviors.
