	abstract = {In order to correctly and consistently use condoms as protection during sex, individuals first typically engage in preparatory behaviors such as acquiring a condom. This paper explores Filipino men{\textquoteright}s efficacy beliefs about condom acquisition using data from the 2003 National Demographic \& Health Survey. Results show that many Filipino men believe they could obtain a condom for themselves if they wanted to, though these efficacy beliefs were related to embarrassment about buying condoms, prior heterosexual experience, and socioeconomic status, but not to knowledge of condoms{\textquoteright} protective ability or to other demographic factors. The critical role of embarrassment as a social emotion surrounding condom acquisition as well as the importance of examining preparatory behaviors for research and intervention purposes are discussed.},
