The purpose of this research is to propose a model of communication factors (content, style, context, and time) on consistency in condom use in men. 1524 men participated through an intentional sampling who were invited to answer a survey, later three groups were formed, diagnosed with HIV, who have taken an HIV test, but whose result is negative, and who never They have done a screening test. Initially, the differences between the groups and correlations between variables are shown, as results before the realization of structural equations. Second, the model was tested in the entire sample and by group, the first model that considered all the participants was adequately adjusted, when doing this same analysis, but by group, the results were similar, although in the case of men with HIV, the time of HIV diagnosis was incorporated for a better fit of the model. The results are discussed in terms of the empirical evidence of the model and the design of intervention programs that promote condom use in men.
