Objective To identify if the selection of mixed sexual partners and the existence of concurrent partners are predictors of condom use in indigenous migrant agricultural workers from Colima, Mexico.
Methods Analytical cross-sectional study using an egocentric sexual network approach. Community interviewers applied a structured questionnaire to 192 indigenous migrant workers in a sugarcane agro-industrial context. Data were analyzed with binary logistic regression; odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI 95%) were estimated.
Results In the logistic regression model, adjusted odds (OR; 95% CI) of steady condom use were lower within partnerships of the same indigenous ethnicity compared to other partnerships (0.30; 0.17-0.53), partnerships that were concurrent to other partnerships (0.27; 0.15-0.50), and partnerships that used illegal drugs during sex to other partnerships (0.23; 0.11-0.49). Those variables were actually associated with increased risk of unprotected sex (occasionally or never using condoms), and therefore exposures were unprotected.
Conclusion Sexual partners of the same ethnicity, concurrent partnerships and partnerships that use illegal drugs favor the low frequency of constant condom use and, in turn, the vulnerability to STIs and HIV transmission in indigenous migrant agricultural workers.

Objetivo Identificar si la selección de parejas sexuales mixtas y la existencia de parejas concurrentes son predictores del uso de condón en trabajadores agrícolas migrantes indígenas de Colima, México.
Métodos Estudio transversal analítico bajo un enfoque egocéntrico de redes de parejas sexuales. Entrevistadores comunitarios aplicaron un cuestionario estructurado a 192 trabajadores migrantes indígenas de un contexto agroindustrial cañero. Los datos se analizaron mediante regresión logística binaria; se calcularon razones de momios (RM) e intervalos de confianza (IC) de 95%.
Resultados En el modelo de regresión de predictores del uso constante de condón, las RM ajustadas (RM; IC 95%) fueron: menores en las parejas sexuales de la misma etnicidad que en las otras parejas (0.30; 0.17-0.53), menores en las parejas concurrentes que en las no concurrentes (0.27; 0.15-0.50); y menores en las parejas usuarias de drogas ilegales que en las no usuarias (0.23; 0.11-0.49). El sentido predictor de estas variables se asoció a un mayor riesgo de sexo no protegido (algunas veces o nunca usaron condón).
Conclusión Las parejas sexuales de la misma etnicidad, las parejas concurrentes y las parejas que usan drogas ilegales favorecen una baja frecuencia de uso constante del condón y con ello la vulnerabilidad a la transmisión de ITS y VIH en los trabajadores agrícolas migrantes indígenas.
