Currently married respondents <strong>and</strong> those living with a partner wereasked whether they had ever discussed HIV/AIDS prevention with their partners.Table 13.5 shows that 68 percent of women <strong>and</strong> 87 percent of men report ever having discussedHIV/AIDS prevention with their partners. The proportion of women who reported having discussedHIV\AIDS prevention with their partners varies with age, residence <strong>and</strong> level of education. Older women,those residing in urban areas <strong>and</strong> more educated women <strong>and</strong> men are more likely to discuss AIDS preventionwith their partners.200 | AIDS/HIV/STI-Related Knowledge <strong>and</strong> Behaviour
