The numerator divided by the denominator, expressed as a percentage.
Time since last sex: If the time since last sex is reported as missing or “don’t know” it is assumed to be more than 12 months ago.
Number of sexual partners in the past 12 months: If the number of partners in the past 12 months is missing or “don’t know” the respondent is still considered to have had 2+ partners in the past 12 months as the direct question on number of partners in the past 12 months is only asked if at least 3 partners are listed in the sexual partner history. Otherwise the number of sexual partners is calculated from the exact number listed in the history. See Notes and Considerations below.
Relationship with partner: If the relationship to the partner is missing it is not considered as high-risk sex. If the response to a question concerning condom use with a partner is missing it is assumed that a condom was not used with that partner.
Number of sexual partners in the past 12 months, respondent’s relationship to sexual partner, and condom use are all self-reported and based on questions in the sexual partner history section of the individual questionnaire. If a respondent had sexual intercourse in the past 12 months, a series of questions is repeated for the respondent’s most-recent, next-to-most recent, and third-to-most recent sexual partners. At the end of the series of questions for the most-recent and next-to-most recent partners, the respondent is asked, “Apart from this person, have you had sexual intercourse with any other person in the last 12 months?” Respondents who answer “Yes” to this question when it is asked at the end of the series of questions about the most-recent sexual partner are considered to have had two or more sexual partners in the past 12 months. At the end of the series of questions for the third-to-most recent partner, the respondent is asked “In total, with how many different people have you had sexual intercourse in the last 12 months?”
In earlier final reports, percentage of women or men who had intercourse in the past 12 months with a person who was neither their spouse nor lived with them and who used a condom as last sexual intercourse with such a partner, was based on using a condom with any such partner in the last 12 months rather than the most recent such partner. Previous calculation was as follows:
Women: ((risk1 & v761 = 1) or
(risk2 & v761b = 1) or
(risk3 & v761c = 1))
Men: ((risk1 & mv761 = 1) or
(risk2 & mv761b = 1) or
(risk3 & mv761c = 1))
