New data shows that Kenyan men and women are increasingly having sex with multiple partners despite the risk of contracting HIV/Aids.
The data contained in the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey shows that only 37 percent of women and 68 percent of men who reported having multiple sexual partners said they used a condom during their last sexual encounter.
Acting Director-General of Health Patrick Amoth stated that the survey revealed that men are twice as likely as women to engage in sex with non-marital, non-cohabiting partners in the past 12 months.
The Survey further showed 47 percent of women and 39 percent of men age 15-49 have been tested for HIV and received their results in the past 12 months.
