Resumen
Descripción
Based on nationally representative
samples from 13 Sub-Saharan African countries, this paper
reinforces and expands previous findings that condom use in
general is low in this region, men report using condoms more
frequently than women, and unmarried individuals report they
use condoms more frequently than married individuals with
their spouse. Based on descriptive, bivariate, and
multivariate analyses, the authors also demonstrate to a
degree not previously shown in the current literature that
married men from most countries report using condoms with
extramarital partners about as frequently as unmarried men.
However, married women from most countries included use
condoms with extramarital partners less frequently than
unmarried women. This result is especially troubling because
marriage usually ensures regular sexual intercourse,
providing more opportunities to pass HIV from extramarital
partner to spouse than an unmarried person who may also have
multiple partners but not as regular sexual intercourse.
