The present study investigated the use of condoms among university students and sociodemographic and cultural factors, sexual behavior, drugs and alcohol. Methods: university students from the five regions of Brazil were invited to answer online questionnaires about sexual behavior, alcohol, drugs and sociodemographic characteristics, whose relationships were analyzed using the Chi-square test and multiple associations using network analysis. Results: after 1,949 valid responses, two networks were created: 1) “condom use for casual partners” (43.2%) and 2) “condom use for regular partners” (26.4%). In network “1”, the clusters on drug use (45.6%), religion, sexual orientation, use of condoms in the first relationship and multiple partners stood out. In network “2”, the formation of clusters were drug use (22.8%), religion, multiple partners, age and marital status. Conclusion: steady partners use less condoms than casual partners. The number of partners, drugs, and use of condoms in the first relationship influence this behavior.
