An asterisk indicates that an estimate is based on fewer than 25 unweightedcases and has been suppressed.1Friends, family members, and home are not considered sources for condoms.As expected, premarital sex and condom use at last sex are higher among older males thanamong younger males (57 percent compared with 40 percent). The pattern is reversed for women;women age 15-19 are slightly more likely than women age 20-24 to use a condom at last sex (49 and47 percent, respectively). Condom use and premarital sex are higher among urban than rural youth.The likelihood that a young woman or man uses a condom at premarital sex increases with level ofeducation and wealth quintile. For women, use of a condom at the most recent premarital sexincreases from 33 percent among women with no education to 65 percent among women withsecondary or higher education. For men, the corresponding figures are 37 and 68 percent, respectively(Figure 8.3).Youth and HIV/AIDS | 99
