Paid sex is considered a high-risk sexual behavior. Male respondents in the <strong>2009</strong>-<strong>10</strong> TLDHS<br />

were asked whether they had paid money in exchange for sex in the past 12 months. Five percent <strong>of</strong><br />

men reported that they had engaged in paid sex in the year before the survey (Table 14.6).<br />

Paid sex occurs most <strong>of</strong>ten among men age 20-24, divorced/separated/widowed men, urban<br />

men, men residing in Covalima, Manatuto <strong>and</strong> Dili, highly educated men, <strong>and</strong> men living in the<br />

wealthiest households.<br />

Among those who paid for sex, only 26 percent reported using a condom during their most<br />

recent encounter (data not shown). Only small numbers <strong>of</strong> men reported paying for sex, so an analysis<br />

<strong>of</strong> condom use among men who paid for sex by background characteristics is not statistically<br />

meaningful <strong>and</strong> is not shown in the report.
