Partner History Partners in Antigua While all of the men confirmed that they were men who had sex with men, 14.7 of them also reported having a girlfriend. The majority of 46.3% had a male partner in Antigua and 5.2% had multiple partners. A significant 38.9% had no partner here. Having no partner here could affect their vulnerability in some cases as they might be more likely to engage in casual sex with someone who is not a steady partner. Table No. 20- Do you have a partner (boyfriend or girlfriend) here in Antigua with you? (Q10). MSM Study. 2012. Responses Number Percentage Boyfriend 44 46.3 Girlfriend 14 14.7 More than one 5 5.2 None 37 38.9 Total 100 Length of time with partner 35.7% of the respondents have been with their partner between 1 and 2 years, while 31.4% have been with their partner more than 5 years. 28.5% have been with their partner for a year or under and 4.2% between 2 and 5 years. It is important to note that while in the previous question only 63 men reported having partners, for 5 of them, it was more than one partner, hence the higher number of 70 persons here.
