Questions and instructions

Question pretext
I would like to talk with you about another subject - your sexual life and sexual partners. I know it may be difficult to remember exactly, but I would
like you to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge, as this information is very important for the survey. I would like to assure you that
this information is all completely private and anonymous and cannot be linked to you or any partner in any way.
Literal question
The last time you had sexual intercourse, was a condom used?

Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Interviewer instructions
This question is only asked to respondents of reproductive age who had sex with the last 12 months. If used correctly, condoms can reduce the risk of transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. This question asks about condom use the last time the respondent had sex. Using a condom can mean either the male or female condom. If the respondent is unsure, condoms can be described as a rubber sheath placed by men on their penis (or by women in their vagina) before sexual intercourse. Enter "yes" if a condom was used by either the respondent or by the partner.
