Note: Programmatically important ways are abstaining from sex, using condoms, and limiting the number
of sexual partners. Abstinence from sex is measured from a spontaneous response only, and using condoms
and limiting the number of sexual partners is measured from spontaneous and probed responses.

HIV/AIDS
