Participants aged 15-45 years were randomly selected from the general population to be interviewed. Findings A total of 630 people from 707 households were interviewed ; 8% were not home despite repeated visits and 3% refused to participate.

Fewer than 3% reported having ever had sex with a sex worker. The median number of extramarital sex partners was 1.
