Question pretext
I would like to talk with you about another subject - your sexual life and sexual partners. I know it may be difficult to remember exactly, but I would
like you to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge, as this information is very important for the survey. I would like to assure you that
this information is all completely private and anonymous and cannot be linked to you or any partner in any way.
Literal question
Have you had sex with another person in the last 12 months?

Interviewer instructions
This question is only asked to respondents of reproductive age who had sex in the last 12 months. This question aims to ascertain whether the respondent had sex with more than one partner in the last year. It is especially important for the interviewer to maintain a good rapport with the respondent, as some respondents may be reluctant to discuss their sexual activities.
