  ABSTRACT: Introduction: The use of the female condom is still very low on university campuses. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of female condom use in Lubumbashi. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study on the use of the female condom on university campuses. Our sample consisted of 300 individuals, including 169 women and 131 men. A questionnaire was established to collect the data. SPPS version 23 helped us analyze the data, which was encoded in Excel. Results: Female condom use was reported in 137 women, or 81.1% of women had previously used the female condom (chi-square = 25.237). Single women were more likely than brides to use female condoms. Women who did not use female condoms were luckier than those who used it because they did not receive the information. Conclusion: Information on the existence of the female condom and the marital status of the survey influences the use of the female condom. Popularization about the existence of the female condom and its availability on university campuses are important steps to take for its use. Appropriate health education would be the key to popularize and promote the female condom.
