Data for these indicators is collected in one of two ways: from the detailed questions about relationship to partner and condom use at last sex with each partner in the history of sexual partners in the past 12 months, or from direct questions on payment for sex and condom use at last paid sex for respondents did not report these events in the sexual partner history. Men are asked the direct question on paying for sexual intercourse in the past 12 months even if they reported it has been more than 12 months since the last time they had sex.
Men with missing values on the payment for sex question are considered not to have paid for sex. Men with missing values on the use of condom at last paid sex question are considered not to have used a condom with paid sex.
These indicators pertain only to payment of money for sex. Transactional sex involving exchange of goods or services is not addressed.
This indicator is no longer measured in DHS-8 and the relevant questions have been removed from the standard DHS-8 questionnaire.
