Self-reported prevalence <strong>of</strong> STI or symptoms <strong>of</strong> STI among women vary minimally by age<br />

<strong>and</strong> marital status. But prevalence is distinctly higher among women residing in urban areas <strong>and</strong> in<br />

Manufahi. Prevalence is lowest among women with little to no education <strong>and</strong> among women in the<br />

lowest two wealth quintiles. Among men, prevalence is highest among the 20-24 age cohort, among<br />

never married men, circumcised men, those living in urban areas, those living in Baucau, those with<br />

more than secondary education, <strong>and</strong> those in the highest wealth quintile.
