Figure 12 shows trends in the percentage of women by urban or rural status who have hadsexual intercourse in the four weeks before the survey. Percentages are noticeably different byurban and rural status, with rural percentages falling over time and urban percentages falling andthen remaining steady.Figure 12: Trends in sexual activity among urban versus rural women, Uganda 1988-2006Urban1988/198966.3199566.12000/200162.6200663.7Rural1988/198970.5199570.72000/200169.2200668.058 60 62 64 66 68 70 72Percent Having Sexual Intercourse in the Past 4 Weeks26
Modern contraceptive use is growing steadily in Uganda, but traditional methods are stillcommon (Figure 13 and 14). Modern contraceptive use more than doubled between 1995 and2000/2001, after which it levels off at 15% of women of reproductive age. Two age groups (15-19 and 25-29) see a decline or stalling of modern method use among sexually active womenbetween 2000/2001 and 2006. Further, modern contraceptive use declines for sexually activeurban women between 2000/2001 and 2006 (from 37% to 33%), much like the pattern inZimbabwe. Condom use among sexually active women (Figure 13), after seeing a remarkableincrease between 1988/1989 and 2000/2001 now remains constant for urban women, at 8.6%,and falls to 2.1% for rural women. 2Figure 13: Trends modern contraceptive use among sexually active urban versus ruralwomen, Uganda 1988-2006Urban1988/1989Method other than condomsCondoms19952000/20012006Rural1988/198919952000/200120060 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40Percentage Using Method2 The condom recall in Uganda occurred in 1994, and thus the effect would have been captured in the 1995 DHS.27
