IntroductionThis chapter describes the prevalence of factors that can be associated with sexual transmission andacquisition of HIV. These factors include the number of sexual partners, condom use, age of sexualdebut and male circumcision.Appendix B.6 provides sample sizes and 95% confidence intervals for estimates presented in thischapter. Throughout the chapter, the term significant indicates a chi‐square p‐value less than 0.05;marginally significant indicates a p‐value between 0.05 and 0.10, inclusive; and not significantindicates a p‐value greater than 0.10.For any analysis that compared the 2003 KDHS and the 2007 KAIS data in this chapter, the z‐teststatistic was used compare the two weighted estimates from 2003 and 2007 and determine ifdifferences were statistically significant. Methods used for calculating the z‐test statistic aredescribed further in Appendix A.KAIS 2007 96
