The research’s design is a quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling method was carried out by simple random sampling technique and the sample size was 96 MSM with a questionnaire as the instrument. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge (ρ = 0.002), attitude (ρ=0.000), information exposure (ρ=0.042), availability of condoms (ρ=0.022), partner support (ρ=0.000) and support from friends in the community (ρ=0.009) with the use of a condom. From this study, it can conclude that knowledge, attitudes, information exposure, availability of condoms, support from partners, and support from friends in the community are a factor that influences condom use among MSM in the IMOF Community in Kupang City in preventing HIV-AIDS. It hoped that MSM could maintain and increase their knowledge, actively seek information about HIV-AIDS, independently provide condoms to be used, strengthen relationships with partners and friends in the community to help in HIV-AIDS prevention efforts.
