BACKGROUND
The majority of commercial sex acts in Vietnam take place in hotels and guesthouses
(Nha Nghi). Data from the IBBS 2009 and a PSI survey of male clients of female sex
workers conducted in 2010 both highlight that, whilst men meet women for commercial
sex in a variety of locations, the majority of commercial sex takes place in hotels and
guesthouses. Figure 1 compares the locations where men meet female sex workers
with the locations where sexual acts actually take place, showing the disparity between
the two.
Figure 1: Top five locations where male clients reported accessing sex workers,
compared with locations where male clients report engaging in sexual acts with
sex workers
A key aim of the “USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project” is to increase
convenient access to male condoms among most-at-risk-populations (MARP) through
targeted distribution and promotion of Number One male condoms to non-traditional
outlet (NTOs) in “hot spot” areas1
. Number One male condoms are priced to ensure
affordability among male clients and MARP. The overall goals of the USAID Social
Marketing for HIV Prevention Project are to:
1. Reduce HIV transmission risk by promoting commodities and safer behavior among
MARP, including sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men (MSM),
and injecting drug users (IDUs).
2. Increase demand for HIV counseling and testing among MARP and strengthen
linkages between HIV prevention, care and treatment services.

NTOs covered through PSI’s distribution network in Vietnam include hotels and guesthouses (Nha
Nghi), massage parlors, karaoke bars, cafes, tea stalls, cigarette sellers, small grocery stalls.

3. Strengthen the local environment to sustain HIV prevention commodity security and
risk reduction by engaging with and building the capacity of key stakeholders
including the Government of Vietnam, the private sector and civil society.
Prior to this survey, little information was available regarding current condom availability
at NTOs or wholesale and consumer pricing levels. That which was available suggested
strongly that condom availability in hotels and guesthouses was relatively low.
MIS data collected by PSI from 2,147 hotels and guest houses across the seven project
provinces in 2007, prior to the beginning of the USAID Social Marketing for HIV
Prevention Project, showed that only one-third (34 percent) of hotels/guesthouses had
male condoms available. Mapping conducted by DGI in 2009 among 4,095 hotels and
guesthouses across the same seven provinces found that 62 percent of these had male
condoms available.
The purpose of this study was to generate an evidence base to inform condom
distribution and promotion strategies in Vietnam with a view toward making the most
efficient use of scarce public resources by reducing the distribution of fully-subsidized
(“free”) condoms and increasing commercial condom brand availability in NTOs.
Pending resource availability, the project will conduct a follow-on survey after 12-18
months to assess progress toward these objectives.
STUDY OBJECTIVES
The key objectives of this study were to:
i) Determine condom availability by brand and by outlet type in high risk areas
ii) Determine condom prices:
–Wholesale price (paid by outlet to supply source) and
–Retail price (charged by outlet to customers)
iii) Identify supply sources for all brands available in outlets
METHODOLOGY
Fieldwork was conducted between November 18th and December 13th, 2010. NTOs
included in the study were almost entirely hotels and guesthouses. A small number of
cafes, karaoke bars and massage parlors – mostly in Hanoi – were also sampled, but
throughout this report, when the term NTO is used it refers exclusively to hotels and
guesthouses unless otherwise stated.
The NTO sampling frame consisted of 3,876 hotels and guesthouses, mapped in
districts with a high density of NTOs across the seven PEPFAR priority provinces where
PSI is implementing its condom social marketing program. In each province, a random
sample of NTOs was drawn (Table 1).

The sample size for each province was calculated to allow for a minimum precision in
estimates of +/- 10%. Initially, 1,372 NTOs were sampled. Of these, 187 were either
identified as duplicates (i.e. the same venue recorded twice under different names) or
could not be located. Out of the remaining 1,185 outlets contacted to participate in the
survey, 80 (7 percent) chose not to participate. A resulting 1,105 NTOs participated in
the survey, representing an estimated 29 percent of the total number of NTOs mapped
in the seven provinces (Table 2).

Sample of pharmacies
In addition to NTOs, a sample of pharmacies in “hotspot” areas was drawn to better
understand the commercial condom market in traditional outlets within areas near
sampled NTOs. Pharmacies within a 100-meter radius of NTOs were randomly
sampled, with up to a maximum of 54 pharmacies in each sample province. In three of
the seven provinces, there were less than 54 pharmacies within a 100-meter radius. In
these cases, all pharmacies were sampled (Table 3).

KEY FINDINGS
Condom availability and brand choice in NTOs
88 percent of NTOs surveyed had at least one brand of condom available at the venue
on the day of interview (Figure 2). There is some variation in availability across
provinces, ranging from 60 percent in Nghe An, to 99 percent in Quang Ninh.
The three most commonly cited reasons for not stocking condoms were:
• Customers rarely or never ask about condoms 68%
• Concern about reaction of police and/or government
authorities 20.6%
• Purchase condoms from nearby shops 11.6%
None of the hotels and guesthouses that lacked condoms reported that high costs were
a reason for not stocking condoms at that time.
Number One brand condoms were present in 52 percent of NTOs sampled, and were
the only brand available in 37 percent of NTOs. Of those NTOs not stocking No.1
condoms, 4.5 percent reported the price of No.1 condoms (‘too expensive’) as the
reason, and 8.4 percent reported a preference for cheaper or free condoms.

The vast majority of NTOs where condoms were available (78 percent) stocked only
one brand of condom (Figure 3). 17 percent had two condom brands available, and only
5 percent stocked 3 or more brands. There were no substantial differences in choice of
condoms available across sampled provinces.
Figure 3: Brand diversity at NTOs, by province
Just over 10 percent (11.7 percent) of all NTOs sampled or 13.7 percent of NTOs
stocking any condoms had at least one commercial (non-subsidized) brand in stock.2
.
Wholesale price and the mix of fully subsidized, partially subsidized
and non-subsidized condoms in NTOs
Among NTOs that had condoms in stock, 17 percent stocked fully subsidized (“free”)
condom brands, 83.7 percent stocked partially subsidized (social marketing) brands and
13.7 percent stocked brands that receive no public subsidy (commercial brands.)
15 percent of NTOs that had condoms available stocked brands that they had received
for free (i.e. they paid no wholesale price, regardless of whether or not these were fully-
subsidized brands), with 11 percent of NTOs stocking only condoms that they received
for free. Only a small minority (4 percent) stocked both condoms that they had
purchased and condoms that they had received for free (Figure 4). Overall, this shows
that 11 percent of NTOs rely exclusively on donated condoms, and that most NTOs pay
for condoms.
There are some notable variations across provinces, with a far higher proportion of
NTOs in An Giang, Nghe An and Can Tho only stocking condoms which they had

A substantial number of NTOs reported having purchased fully-subsidized condoms
such as VIP and Protector Plus. For example, 40 percent of NTOs stocking Protector
Plus condoms, and 27 percent of NTOs stocking VIP condoms reported having paid for
these condoms (Table 4).

78 percent of venues that stock condoms reported having purchased them at or below a
unit cost of 500 VND, the recommended wholesale price for a single, partially-

The most commonly stocked commercial brand condoms available in NTOs (Durex,

In the overwhelming majority of NTOs (86 percent) customers are not being charged a
distinct price for condoms, with costs presumably being incorporated into the customer
room rental charge. Outside of Ho Chi Minh City – where 35 percent of NTOs reported
charging customers for condoms – this figure is even smaller. In the northern provinces
(Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh) less than 3 percent of NTOs report charging
customers a distinct price for condoms (Figure 5).

Condom availability and brand choice in pharmacies
Condom availability in pharmacies near NTOs is very high, with almost 100 percent of
pharmacies sampled stocking at least one brand of condom (100 percent in the
southern provinces of HCMC, Can Tho, An Giang and Nghe An; 96 percent in Hanoi,
Hai Phong and Quang Ninh).
Much greater condom brand choice is found in pharmacies compared with NTOs.
Among pharmacies where condoms are available, 43.5 percent stocked at least five
condom brands, with a further 28 percent stocking 3-4 brands (Figure 6). There is
some variation across sample provinces: 72 percent of pharmacies sampled in Hanoi
stocked at least 5 condom brands, compared with only 10 percent in An Giang. Figure 6
also displays data from a 2010 retail survey of condom availability in pharmacies
conducted by IMS Vietnam. This shows a very similar picture of condom availability in
pharmacies to that found in the NTO survey.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Fully subsidized (“free”) condoms are being distributed and, in some cases,
sold to hotels and guesthouses
17 per cent of NTOs with condoms in stock carried fully subsidized condom brands
such as VIP and Protector Plus. A substantial proportion of NTOs stocking fully
subsidized (“free”) condoms reported paying a wholesale price for these brands.
2. Condom availability in outlets where commercial sex takes place is reasonably
high, an achievement that the USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project
appears to have contributed to substantially
Close to 9 out of every 10 NTOs sampled had any condom available—a significant
increase compared to 2007 (pre-project implementation) MIS data, which found only 34
percent of hotels/guesthouses sampled stocking condoms. While overall coverage is
high, this figure varies by region, with a high of 13 percent and a low of 1 percent of
outlets where commercial sex takes place not stocking condoms at the time of the
survey.
Number One condoms were available in slightly more than half of NTOs sampled, and
were the only brand available in 37 percent of NTOs sampled. Social marketing brands
are also among the lowest priced brands available at NTOs. The mean wholesale price
charged for the three most common commercial brands was 4500 VND, nine times
higher than the price of Number One condoms.
3. Condom choice in NTOs is limited, particularly with respect to commercial
brands
The average number of brands available in NTOs was 1.3, with partially or fully
subsidized (social marketing and “free” respectively) brands accounting for the majority
of this market. Only 11.7 percent of NTOs had one or more commercial brands
available.
4. Pharmacies typically have much greater condom choice, but pay significantly
higher prices for condoms than NTOs.
43 percent of pharmacies sampled had five or more condom brands available, with 68
percent having at least three available. The average wholesale price paid (by
pharmacies to the supplier) for the most commonly stocked condom at these outlets
(Durex) was 5,850 VND—more than ten times higher than the wholesale price of the
most commonly available condom brand available at NTOs.

  • 4. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research represented in this report was support by President’s Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Contract GHH-I-00-07-00062-00 for the “USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project,” implemented by Population Services International (PSI.) Fieldwork was conducted by Nielsen Vietnam. The PSI/Vietnam program and research team, together with Gary Mundy, PSI Senior Regional Researcher based in Hanoi, finalized the data analysis and conclusions described in this report. We would like to acknowledge our partners from the Provincial Health Department (PHD) in Hai Phong and Provincial AIDS Centers (PAC) in Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Nghe An, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho and An Giang for their support and assistance related to implementing the survey and organizing provincial-level discussions regarding survey findings. We would also like to acknowledge the outlets that participated in this study for their time and willingness to openly provide information presented in this report. We are grateful to the Vietnam Administration for AIDS Control (VAAC)/Ministry of Health and USAID/Vietnam for co-chairing a June 2011 meeting during which preliminary study findings were discussed with representatives from the Ministry of Health, UN agencies and implementing organizations. Input from the VAAC, USAID and other stakeholders contributed to the development of this report. Josselyn Neukom Country Representative PSI Vietnam
  • 5. 5 BACKGROUND The majority of commercial sex acts in Vietnam take place in hotels and guesthouses (Nha Nghi). Data from the IBBS 2009 and a PSI survey of male clients of female sex workers conducted in 2010 both highlight that, whilst men meet women for commercial sex in a variety of locations, the majority of commercial sex takes place in hotels and guesthouses. Figure 1 compares the locations where men meet female sex workers with the locations where sexual acts actually take place, showing the disparity between the two. Figure 1: Top five locations where male clients reported accessing sex workers, compared with locations where male clients report engaging in sexual acts with sex workers A key aim of the “USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project” is to increase convenient access to male condoms among most-at-risk-populations (MARP) through targeted distribution and promotion of Number One male condoms to non-traditional outlet (NTOs) in “hot spot” areas1 . Number One male condoms are priced to ensure affordability among male clients and MARP. The overall goals of the USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project are to: 1. Reduce HIV transmission risk by promoting commodities and safer behavior among MARP, including sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men (MSM), and injecting drug users (IDUs). 2. Increase demand for HIV counseling and testing among MARP and strengthen linkages between HIV prevention, care and treatment services. 1 NTOs covered through PSI’s distribution network in Vietnam include hotels and guesthouses (Nha Nghi), massage parlors, karaoke bars, cafes, tea stalls, cigarette sellers, small grocery stalls. 38.5 23.3 16.1 15.4 14.1 86.1 2.7 7.7 12.8 2.9 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Hotel/guest house Street/park/public area Massage parlor Brothel Karaoke bar %ofmen % of men report accessing sex workers at each location type % of men who had sex with sex workers at each locations
  • 6. 6 3. Strengthen the local environment to sustain HIV prevention commodity security and risk reduction by engaging with and building the capacity of key stakeholders including the Government of Vietnam, the private sector and civil society. Prior to this survey, little information was available regarding current condom availability at NTOs or wholesale and consumer pricing levels. That which was available suggested strongly that condom availability in hotels and guesthouses was relatively low. MIS data collected by PSI from 2,147 hotels and guest houses across the seven project provinces in 2007, prior to the beginning of the USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project, showed that only one-third (34 percent) of hotels/guesthouses had male condoms available. Mapping conducted by DGI in 2009 among 4,095 hotels and guesthouses across the same seven provinces found that 62 percent of these had male condoms available. The purpose of this study was to generate an evidence base to inform condom distribution and promotion strategies in Vietnam with a view toward making the most efficient use of scarce public resources by reducing the distribution of fully-subsidized (“free”) condoms and increasing commercial condom brand availability in NTOs. Pending resource availability, the project will conduct a follow-on survey after 12-18 months to assess progress toward these objectives. STUDY OBJECTIVES The key objectives of this study were to: i) Determine condom availability by brand and by outlet type in high risk areas ii) Determine condom prices: –Wholesale price (paid by outlet to supply source) and –Retail price (charged by outlet to customers) iii) Identify supply sources for all brands available in outlets METHODOLOGY Fieldwork was conducted between November 18th and December 13th, 2010. NTOs included in the study were almost entirely hotels and guesthouses. A small number of cafes, karaoke bars and massage parlors – mostly in Hanoi – were also sampled, but throughout this report, when the term NTO is used it refers exclusively to hotels and guesthouses unless otherwise stated. The NTO sampling frame consisted of 3,876 hotels and guesthouses, mapped in districts with a high density of NTOs across the seven PEPFAR priority provinces where PSI is implementing its condom social marketing program. In each province, a random sample of NTOs was drawn (Table 1).
  • 7. 7 Table 1: NTO sampling frame and sample drawn Province Number of hotels and guesthouses (NTOs) in the sampling frame Sample drawn Hanoi 1,097 280 Hai Phong 404 138 Quang Ninh 260 82 Nghe An 227 97 HCMC 1,278 308 An Giang 298 100 Can Tho 294 100 Total 3,876 1,105 The sample size for each province was calculated to allow for a minimum precision in estimates of +/- 10%. Initially, 1,372 NTOs were sampled. Of these, 187 were either identified as duplicates (i.e. the same venue recorded twice under different names) or could not be located. Out of the remaining 1,185 outlets contacted to participate in the survey, 80 (7 percent) chose not to participate. A resulting 1,105 NTOs participated in the survey, representing an estimated 29 percent of the total number of NTOs mapped in the seven provinces (Table 2). Table 2: Sampling process and refusal rates for NTOs
  • 8. 8 Sample of pharmacies In addition to NTOs, a sample of pharmacies in “hotspot” areas was drawn to better understand the commercial condom market in traditional outlets within areas near sampled NTOs. Pharmacies within a 100-meter radius of NTOs were randomly sampled, with up to a maximum of 54 pharmacies in each sample province. In three of the seven provinces, there were less than 54 pharmacies within a 100-meter radius. In these cases, all pharmacies were sampled (Table 3). Table 3: Sampling distribution of pharmacies Province Pharmacies within 100m radius Hanoi 54 Hai Phong 21 Quang Ninh 34 Nghe An 16 Can Tho 54 An Giang 54 HCMC 54 Total 287 A standard audit sheet was used across NTOs and pharmacies. Outlet operators were asked to produce condom packets to verify availability.
  • 9. 9 KEY FINDINGS Condom availability and brand choice in NTOs 88 percent of NTOs surveyed had at least one brand of condom available at the venue on the day of interview (Figure 2). There is some variation in availability across provinces, ranging from 60 percent in Nghe An, to 99 percent in Quang Ninh. The three most commonly cited reasons for not stocking condoms were: • Customers rarely or never ask about condoms 68% • Concern about reaction of police and/or government authorities 20.6% • Purchase condoms from nearby shops 11.6% None of the hotels and guesthouses that lacked condoms reported that high costs were a reason for not stocking condoms at that time. Number One brand condoms were present in 52 percent of NTOs sampled, and were the only brand available in 37 percent of NTOs. Of those NTOs not stocking No.1 condoms, 4.5 percent reported the price of No.1 condoms (‘too expensive’) as the reason, and 8.4 percent reported a preference for cheaper or free condoms.

  • 10. 10 The vast majority of NTOs where condoms were available (78 percent) stocked only one brand of condom (Figure 3). 17 percent had two condom brands available, and only 5 percent stocked 3 or more brands. There were no substantial differences in choice of condoms available across sampled provinces. Figure 3: Brand diversity at NTOs, by province Just over 10 percent (11.7 percent) of all NTOs sampled or 13.7 percent of NTOs stocking any condoms had at least one commercial (non-subsidized) brand in stock.2 . Wholesale price and the mix of fully subsidized, partially subsidized and non-subsidized condoms in NTOs Among NTOs that had condoms in stock, 17 percent stocked fully subsidized (“free”) condom brands, 83.7 percent stocked partially subsidized (social marketing) brands and 13.7 percent stocked brands that receive no public subsidy (commercial brands.) 15 percent of NTOs that had condoms available stocked brands that they had received for free (i.e. they paid no wholesale price, regardless of whether or not these were fully- subsidized brands), with 11 percent of NTOs stocking only condoms that they received for free. Only a small minority (4 percent) stocked both condoms that they had purchased and condoms that they had received for free (Figure 4). Overall, this shows that 11 percent of NTOs rely exclusively on donated condoms, and that most NTOs pay for condoms. There are some notable variations across provinces, with a far higher proportion of NTOs in An Giang, Nghe An and Can Tho only stocking condoms which they had 2 Fully subsidized brands include VIP and Protector Plus. Partially subsidized brands include No.1, OK, Happy and Hello. 81% 75% 80% 79% 77% 78% 72% 78% 17% 19% 16% 16% 16% 19% 17% 16% 5% 6% 2% 4% 3% 7% 3% 4% 0% 2% 0%1% 1% 0% 4% 1% 0% 50% 100% Hanoi Hai Phong Quang Ninh Nghe An HCMC An Giang Can Tho 7 provinces Hotels and guesthouses where male condoms were available Have only one condom brand Have 2 condom brands Have 3 condom brands Have 4-5 condom brands

Figure 4: Proportion of venues stocking condoms that they had received for free, and condoms that they had purchased, by province A substantial number of NTOs reported having purchased fully-subsidized condoms such as VIP and Protector Plus. For example, 40 percent of NTOs stocking Protector Plus condoms, and 27 percent of NTOs stocking VIP condoms reported having paid for these condoms (Table 4).

  • 12. 12 The most commonly stocked commercial brand condoms available in NTOs (Durex, Romax, Beautiful Dream) were sold to NTOs at a wholesale price of between 761 VND (Beautiful Dream) and 7,028 VND (Durex) per condom (Table 5).

Outside of Ho Chi Minh City – where 35 percent of NTOs reported charging customers for condoms – this figure is even smaller. In the northern provinces (Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh) less than 3 percent of NTOs report charging customers a distinct price for condoms (Figure 5).

  • 13. 13 Condom availability and brand choice in pharmacies Condom availability in pharmacies near NTOs is very high, with almost 100 percent of pharmacies sampled stocking at least one brand of condom (100 percent in the southern provinces of HCMC, Can Tho, An Giang and Nghe An; 96 percent in Hanoi, Hai Phong and Quang Ninh). Much greater condom brand choice is found in pharmacies compared with NTOs. Among pharmacies where condoms are available, 43.5 percent stocked at least five condom brands, with a further 28 percent stocking 3-4 brands (Figure 6). There is some variation across sample provinces: 72 percent of pharmacies sampled in Hanoi stocked at least 5 condom brands, compared with only 10 percent in An Giang. Figure 6 also displays data from a 2010 retail survey of condom availability in pharmacies conducted by IMS Vietnam. This shows a very similar picture of condom availability in pharmacies to that found in the NTO survey.

  • 14. 14 CONCLUSIONS 1. Fully subsidized (“free”) condoms are being distributed and, in some cases, sold to hotels and guesthouses 17 per cent of NTOs with condoms in stock carried fully subsidized condom brands such as VIP and Protector Plus. A substantial proportion of NTOs stocking fully subsidized (“free”) condoms reported paying a wholesale price for these brands. 2. Condom availability in outlets where commercial sex takes place is reasonably high, an achievement that the USAID Social Marketing for HIV Prevention Project appears to have contributed to substantially Close to 9 out of every 10 NTOs sampled had any condom available—a significant increase compared to 2007 (pre-project implementation) MIS data, which found only 34 percent of hotels/guesthouses sampled stocking condoms. While overall coverage is high, this figure varies by region, with a high of 13 percent and a low of 1 percent of outlets where commercial sex takes place not stocking condoms at the time of the survey. Number One condoms were available in slightly more than half of NTOs sampled, and were the only brand available in 37 percent of NTOs sampled. Social marketing brands are also among the lowest priced brands available at NTOs. The mean wholesale price charged for the three most common commercial brands was 4500 VND, nine times higher than the price of Number One condoms. 3. Condom choice in NTOs is limited, particularly with respect to commercial brands The average number of brands available in NTOs was 1.3, with partially or fully subsidized (social marketing and “free” respectively) brands accounting for the majority of this market. Only 11.7 percent of NTOs had one or more commercial brands available. 4. Pharmacies typically have much greater condom choice, but pay significantly higher prices for condoms than NTOs. 43 percent of pharmacies sampled had five or more condom brands available, with 68 percent having at least three available. The average wholesale price paid (by pharmacies to the supplier) for the most commonly stocked condom at these outlets (Durex) was 5,850 VND—more than ten times higher than the wholesale price of the most commonly available condom brand available at NTOs.
