Households with more than one bednet could be represented in more than onecategory of source of net. A household is not represented more than once per category; that is, if a household with twonets purchased both nets, it is only considered once in the category of purchased nets.NGO refers to non-governmental organizations.According to the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>, 69.1% of households owned at least one bednet that they purchased.Given that most households only owned one bednet, this means that most nets in <strong>Kenya</strong> areacquired by households themselves rather than free from sources such as the government or nongovernmentalorganizations. Significantly more urban households purchased their bednetscompared to rural households (80.9% and 64.7%, respectively). In contrast, significantly more ruralhouseholds acquired a bednet from a non‐governmental organization (12.2%) or from thegovernment (37.2%) than urban households (5.5% and 17.9%, respectively). There were small butmarginally significant differences between HIV‐affected and HIV‐unaffected households by theoverall pattern of bednet sources. In rural areas, a higher percent of HIV‐affected householdsreported receiving a bednet from the government (39.5%) compared to HIV‐unaffected households(36.9%). In urban areas, a higher percent of HIV‐affected households (9.8%) received at least onebednet from another, unspecified source compared to HIV‐unaffected households (4.7%).Across provinces, only North Eastern province deviated significantly the overall pattern of sourcesof nets: in this province, 42.9% of households identified NGOs as the source of one or mosquitobednets.Heads of household were also asked to report the duration of ownership for each of the bednets intheir household. Among households with at least one bednet, 65.9% owned at least one net thatwas acquired during the year prior to the survey; some of these nets could be attributed to thenational distribution of bednets that occurred from July‐September of 2006. Additionally, giventhat <strong>2007</strong> guidelines from the <strong>Kenya</strong> Division of Malaria <strong>Control</strong> recommended that bednets bereplaced every three years, we also examined the percent of households with bednets that were no<strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 259
