Based on descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, we also demonstrate to a degree not previously shown in the current literature that married men from most countries report using condoms with extramarital partners about as frequently as unmarried men report using them with casual partners. Married women from most of the countries included in the study reported using condoms with extramarital partners less frequently than unmarried women reported using them with casual partners. This result is especially troubling because marriage usually ensures regular sexual intercourse, thereby providing more opportunities for a person to pass HIV infection from an extramarital partner to his or her spouse. These findings about high-risk behaviors can be used to better target future HIV-transmission-prevention efforts. 2012-03-30T07:33:37Z 2012-03-30T07:33:37Z 2011 Journal Article Studies in Family Planning 00393665 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5601 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
